Avelo Airlines announced on Tuesday that it will offer nonstop service this summer between Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) and Washington, D.C.’s Dulles International Airport (IAD).

Airline officials said service will begin on July 12, and will operate weekly on Mondays and Fridays.

They said Introductory one-way fares to D.C. start at $46.

“The addition of more destinations from Tweed helps expand access to the New Haven region, which means more opportunities to increase our economic viability and enhance business growth,” said Gov. Ned Lamont.

Avelo is the only airline offering nonstop service between Southern Connecticut and Washington, D.C
