Avelo Airlines will begin offering nonstop service to Raleigh/Durham International Airport out of the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport.

This would be the first nonstop service out of Rochester in 20 years to North Carolina’s Research Triangle.

“I welcome Avelo Airlines to our community with their nonstop service to Raleigh/Durham — our first nonstop service to North Carolina’s Research Triangle in two decades. We believe that Avelo’s business model of investing in small, hometown airports fits ROC perfectly, and are excited about their potential to grow and add more nonstop markets to popular vacation destinations,” Monroe County Executive Adam Bello said in a statement. “The addition of Avelo speaks to the strength of the Rochester economy, the attractiveness of the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport and the demand for more air service for Rochester passengers.”

The service will begin on June 14 and operate the route to RDU twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays.

“Rochester – say hello to Avelo! We are excited to bring Avelo to Rochester, our second New York market,” Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said in a statement. “Getting to The Research Triangle is now more affordable and easier than ever. We believe Avelo’s combination of everyday low fares, industry-leading reliability and friendly service, coupled with ROC’s time-saving convenience, will inspire people from across the region to enjoy everything the Raleigh-Durham region has to offer.”

Prices for one-way fares between Rochester and RDU will start at $39.
