the long sought-after community of Palm Springs, connecting two world-class
destinations and offering more convenient travel options to the North Bay.”
James
Gore, Chair of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors said, “I’m thrilled
that Avelo Airlines is already expanding its direct flights servicing the
Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport. Flights connecting Palm Springs
and Sonoma County will provide our residents with convenient access to
a popular resort destination and visitors from Southern California will
be able to experience all that Sonoma County’s wine country has to offer.”
STS is a small hometown airport
experience where Customers enjoy smaller crowds, shorter walking distance
from curb to gate, and quicker TSA lines. Whether arriving or departing,
STS offers a smooth hassle-free travel experience - so Customers arrive
at their destination refreshed and ready to go.
The new routes will operate
on 189-seat Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft. In addition to Palm

Palm Springs is Southern
California’s most storied desert oasis, with nine distinct cities—Palm
Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert,
Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio, and Coachella—each with its own personality
and blend of experiences. From an emerging art scene to international film,
sporting, and music events, the choices of things to do are endless. With
natural hot mineral springs, lush palm groves, over 100 golf courses, and
more than 300 sunny days per year, Greater Palm Springs presents a unique
combination of escape, adventure, recreation, and relaxation any time of
the year.
“We are excited to welcome
Avelo Airlines and new nonstop flights to Greater Palm Springs,” said Scott
White, President and CEO of Visit Greater Palm Springs. “We look forward
to partnering with Avelo to inspire travelers from Santa Rosa and Sonoma
County to experience our oasis of outdoor experiences and healthy lifestyle.”
A Different, Better and
More Affordable Travel Experience
Since taking flight in April
2021, Avelo has emerged as one of the airline industry’s most reliable
airlines. The airline has cancelled less than 1% of its flights and consistently
delivers industry-leading on-time performance and baggage handling metrics.
At Avelo, there are no change
or cancellation fees. Avelo offers several unbundled travel-enhancing options
that give Customers the flexibility to pay for what they value, including
priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags, and bringing a
pet in the cabin.
The American-made Boeing
737 jets Avelo flies offer a more spacious and comfortable experience than
the small regional aircraft historically operating at many of the small
hometown airports Avelo serves. Customers may choose from several seating
options, including seats with extra leg room, as well as pre-reserved window
and aisle seating.
Avelo is distinguished by
its Soul of Service culture. The culture is grounded in Avelo’s “One Crew”
value which promotes a welcoming and caring experience. By caring for one
another and owning their commitments, Avelo Crewmembers focus on anticipating
and understanding Customer needs on the ground and in the air.
