A new flight between Pasco and California wine country is being discontinued.
The Avelo Airlines service between the Tri-Cities Airport and Sonoma County Airport is ending effective June 12, about 1 ½ months after it debuted on May 1.
The airline “determined the aircraft being utilized on the route…can be better utilized on routes elsewhere in our system due to low demand,” said Courtney Goff, Avelo communications manager, in a statement provided to the Journal of Business.
Affected customers have been notified and are being fully refunded, she said, adding that Avelo also is issuing a “goodwill credit” for use in future Avelo travel.
Meanwhile, another Avelo route to California is getting beefed up – between Pasco and Burbank in Los Angeles County. The twice weekly flight frequency is increasing to four days per week in September, the statement said.
