Investing and Growing in Concord/Charlotte
Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA) is conveniently situated just a short drive from downtown Charlotte and its suburbs. USA’s refreshingly small and welcoming hometown airport size makes it a fast, easy and stress-free alternative to the long lines, congestion and frequent flight delays at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT).
Avelo opened its Concord/Charlotte base on March 6, 2025. The airline initially positioned one Boeing Next-Generation 737 at USA and will add a second 737 in April 2025.
To support its new base, the airline will create up to 50 jobs. These positions will include a combination of Avelo Crewmembers (employees) and jobs with Avelo business partners operating at USA. Roles will include Airport Customer Service, Flight Attendants, Pilots, Aircraft Technical Operations and Maintenance, and Supervisors. Candidates can learn more about Avelo career opportunities by visiting AveloAir.com/Careers.
Avelo serves 11 nonstop destinations from USA: Albany, N.Y. (ALB); Boston / Manchester, N.H. (MHT); Daytona Beach, Fla. (DAB); Detroit, Mich. (DTW); Hartford, Conn. (BDL); Lakeland / Orlando, Fla. (LAL); Nashville, Tenn. (BNA); New Haven, Conn. (HVN); New York / Long Island, N.Y. (ISP); Rochester, N.Y. (ROC); and Washington, D.C. – Dulles (IAD).
America’s Most Reliable and Convenient Airline
Since taking flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo has flown more than 6.3 million Customers on over 50,000 flights. Today Avelo serves 56 cities spanning 23 states and Puerto Rico, as well as four international destinations: Bahamas, Jamaica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
Avelo has unlocked a new era of convenience, choice, and competition by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved communities across the country. Most Avelo routes have at least one small, easy to use airport. This makes traveling with Avelo a smoother, easier and more enjoyable experience than contending with the crowds, congestion and long walks at larger airports.
Avelo is distinguished by its industry-leading reliability. In 2024, Avelo ranked #1 in on-time performance and achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate in the U.S. airline industry. These results are provided by Anuvu, a leading aviation data services company also utilized by The Wall Street Journal for the publication’s annual airline ranking. Anuvu’s complete industry results and rankings are available at AveloAir.com.
Avelo also delivers world-class customer satisfaction, exemplified by our Net Promoter Scores (NPS), which consistently rank among the best airlines and most admired brands in the world.
Avelo offers an abundance of advanced seating options. One third of its aircraft seats (Avelo Premium and Premium Economy) offer extra leg room — ranging from 32 inches to more than 36 inches of pitch. These seats offer a more comfortable experience for Customers who value more space. Customers can also purchase window and aisle seats in advance of their flight. In addition to advance seat assignments, Avelo offers several unbundled travel-enhancing options that give Customers the flexibility to pay only for what they value, including priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags, and bringing a pet in the cabin.
Additionally, families can travel with ease knowing every child 14 and under will be automatically seated with an accompanying adult at no additional cost.
