Chicago’s Midway and the Raleigh-Durham and Baltimore-Washington international airports will get their own nonstop flights from Tweed New Haven on Avelo Airlines, beginning in May.
More service from Tweed is vital for drawing the venture capital and corporate headquarters needed to grow the size and vitality of New Haven’s biotech industry, said BioCT CEO Dawn Hocevar.
“What we need now to really boost this industry is to recruit companies here,” Hocevar said. The new flights will add to the city’s appeal, she said. “This is going to be a major, major, major benefit for this industry and helping companies. I cannot wait to help spread this news.”
