A new commercial airline carrier is coming to the area. Avelo Airlines, based in Houston, will offer nonstop domestic flights from McKinney National Airport. The airline's routes will include destinations such as Las Vegas and several cities in Florida.

Flights are set to begin on November 11, using Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Avelo Airlines is the first commercial airline carrier to operate out of McKinney National Airport, which has recently expanded. The city's move into commercial air travel has been in the works for years, despite a setback from a failed bond election in 2023.

Further details about Avelo Airlines' new service can be found through the company's press release or other local news sources.
