Rapidly growing Avelo Airlines will add new nonstop flights from Las Vegas to Oregon’s Willamette Valley in October, the company announced Thursday.
The Houston-based discount carrier, which last month announced flights to four destinations new to Las Vegas and plans to establish a crew base at Harry Reid International Airport, will offer twice-weekly flights to Salem, Oregon, beginning Oct. 5. The Willamette Valley is home to nearly 100 cities, including Portland, college cities Eugene and Corvallis, Beaverton and the state’s capital, Salem.
“We’re excited to announce this exclusive nonstop service to the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, a convenient and easy alternative to Portland International Airport,” said Andrew Levy, chairman and CEO of Avelo, in a statement.
