BURBANK, Calif., BOZEMAN, Mont., April 30,
2021 — America’s first new mainline airline in nearly 15 years —
Avelo Airlines
— takes off for its first flight from Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) to Bozeman
Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), commencing service between Southern
California and Bozeman.
Avelo
flight XP 105 departed BUR at 8:00 a.m. and arrived into BZN at
11:25 a.m. The inaugural flight from BZN to BUR departs today at 12:05 p.m. local
time, with a 1:40 p.m. scheduled arrival at BUR. Service is offered seasonally through September 16, 2021
"Bozeman
Yellowstone International Airport is the gateway to Big Sky country and the
airport of choice for two of our nation's most famous national parks,” said
Avelo Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy. “Avelo will bring lower fares and increase
choice and convenience to and from Bozeman and the surrounding area, which is
world-renowned for fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing,
hunting, backcountry exploring, and of course, Yellowstone National Park.”
With
everyday low fares starting at $19, Avelo’s four-times-per-week service between
BUR and BZN will make it easier than ever to enjoy some of Bozeman’s most
popular destinations. The route will be served by 189-seat
Boeing 737-800 aircraft – one of the most fuel-efficient commercial aircraft in
the world – providing Customers with a large, comfortable cabin with more room,
more seats and more seating options than the regional aircraft typically
serving BZN.
“We’re honored to be one of the launch markets
for Avelo Airlines. Local passengers will enjoy Hollywood Burbank
Airport’s size and proximity to a wide variety of attractions in Southern
California while inbound passengers have easy access to nearly every outdoor
activity imaginable including a short drive to the world’s first national
park,” said Scott Humphrey, Deputy Airport Director.
Whether Customers are departing or arriving,
BUR – named the 2019 “Best U.S. Airport” by Fodor’s Travel – offers a
refreshingly hassle-free experience, including seamless curbside pickup and
drop-off, smaller crowds, shorter walking distances from curb to gate,
unrivaled speed for plane-to-carousel bag delivery, and shorter TSA security
lines.
“For those considering LA for their next
getaway, BUR is the ultra-convenient, stress-free gateway to Greater LA. No
airport is closer to downtown LA, Hollywood, Pasadena and other attractions
throughout Southern California,” said Levy.
