Avelo has dedicated seven aircraft to Connecticut flying, more than 40% of its fleet. The airline's fleet totals 17 Boeing Next-Generation 737s. Its Connecticut workforce has grown to nearly 350 crewmembers, a third of the airline's headcount. Five of them have been with the carrier since the first HVN flight.
