“As the local operator of HVN for more than 20 years, we are extremely excited to begin moving forward with changes at the airport that will bring about new flights and expanded service,” said Jorge Roberts, CEO of Avports, in a statement. “Avelo Airlines is a great partner to be working with as we invest together in building a new HVN, and this sweepstakes is an exciting way for them to build bridges with the local community of flyers in the region, hearing directly from them about where they’d like to fly.”
The sweepstakes run through August 23 and winners will be picked on August 30. There will be 20 winners picked from the website entrants and another five picked from social media entries.
Avelo begins service from Tweed New Haven in November and will expand offerings in December.
