Avelo Airlines takes flight today with exclusive nonstop flights to the Philadelphia / Delaware Valley region from Savannah / Hilton Head International Airport (SAV). Avelo continues to usher in a new era of affordable, convenient and reliable air service for both Savannah and Hilton Head Customers with the inauguration of this second nonstop route from SAV.

Today, Avelo begins twice-weekly nonstop service to Wilmington Airport (ILG) operating on Wednesdays and Saturdays utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Very low, one-way fares between SAV and ILG start at $39*. Customers can make reservations at AveloAir.com. 

Wilmington Airport is conveniently located a short drive south of Philadelphia – offering a refreshingly smooth, simple and relaxing hometown airport alternative to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). ILG’s adjacency to multiple major highways makes it the greater Philadelphia and Delaware Valley’s most convenient airport, encompassing portions of four states: Southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, South Jersey and the northern Eastern Shore of Maryland. 

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “SAV – say hello to Philly! Getting to Philadelphia and the greater Delaware Valley is easier and more affordable than ever with Avelo’s exclusive nonstop service to Wilmington Airport – the region’s most travel-friendly airport. Combined with Avelo’s industry-leading reliability, there isn’t a more convenient, faster and more relaxing gateway to The City of Brotherly Love from Savannah and Hilton Head Island.”

Greg Kelly, Executive Director, Savannah Airport Commission said, “It is great to see that Avelo has made the decision to expand their operations here at SAV. This service will be the first service we have ever had to the State of Delaware. We believe Wilmington will be a strong market for us and we will work hard to ensure this route succeeds.” 

Stephen S. Green, Chairman, Savannah Airport Commission said, “We appreciate the confidence that Avelo has shown in our Market by adding this new service to Wilmington. This will further enhance our ability to meet the needs of the travelers to and from our region.”

With today’s inaugural flight to the Philadelphia / Delaware Valley region, Avelo now serves two nonstop destinations from SAV, with ILG joining Southern Connecticut’s most convenient airport — Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN).
