Avelo Airlines announces exclusive nonstop service to Orlando from CWA

Avelo Airlines announced Wednesday exclusive nonstop service between Central Wisconsin Airport (CWA) and Orlando International Airport (MCO).

Avelo is the first and only low-fare airline serving CWA and is the only airline offering nonstop flights from the Central Wisconsin region to the Theme Park Capital of the World in Central Florida. With Wednesday’s announcement, Avelo introduces a new era of affordable, convenient and reliable air travel to Central Wisconsin.

Avelo will operate this route twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays beginning October 5, 2023 and will utilize Boeing Next-Generation (NG) 737 aircraft. Introductory one-way fares between CWA and MCO start at $49*. Customers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.

Central Wisconsin Airport sits in the heart of Wisconsin, in Mosinee, between Stevens Point and Wausau. CWA offers a refreshingly fast, smooth and welcoming hometown airport experience. Avelo’s new service makes getting to Orlando more convenient than ever. Travelers can now forgo the long gas-guzzling drives to those other distant Wisconsin airports or those long, expensive connecting flights on other airlines when traveling to Orlando.

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Central Wisconsin – say hello to Avelo! We are excited to announce exclusive nonstop service to Orlando. Avelo’s combination of everyday low fares, industry-leading reliability and friendly service, coupled with CWA’s time and money-saving convenience will inspire people from across the region to enjoy all Orlando has to offer. Getting to the Theme Park Capital of the World is now easier and more affordable than ever. With the addition of Wisconsin to Avelo’s nationwide route network, Avelo will now serve half the United States.”

Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes said, “Avelo’s decision to extend air service to Central Wisconsin Airport is a win for residents of Northern and Central Wisconsin. This will create opportunities for business and recreational travel and make central Wisconsin an even more attractive place to live, work, and grow. As we have seen in other regions, we know this expansion will result in new and diversified economic impacts for the local communities as they take advantage of the partnership with Avelo.”

Central Wisconsin Airport Board Chair David Ladick said, “Hello Avelo! We are excited to welcome Avelo Airlines to Central Wisconsin Airport. Avelo’s new nonstop, year-round service to Orlando provides a new low-fare option and greater connectivity for travel to and from central and northern Wisconsin. We look forward to growing with our new airline partner. Fly CWA – Your Journey Begins Here.”
