Avelo’s Orlando Flight Not Returning to Central Wisconsin in 2024 Avelo Airlines informed airport officials that CWA will not be included in Avelo’s flight schedule for the fourth quarter of 2024. Avelo had planned to resume direct flights from CWA to Orlando in November but said aircraft availability and increasing costs at Orlando International Airport factored into the decision. Avelo announced similar decisions yesterday for five other Orlando “spoke” airports it served: Kalamazoo/Battle Creek (AZO), Greater Binghamton (BGM), Brownsville/South Padre (BRO), Dubuque (DBQ), and Central Region/Lansing (LAN). “This is disappointing news for Central Wisconsin,” shared Airport Director Brian Grefe. “We understand the impact this has on our passengers and local community and will continue to actively explore opportunities with other carriers to ensure we continue to provide robust travel options.”
