Sarasota-Bradenton airport adds nonstop flight to Delaware

The Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport announced that it's adding Wilmington, Delaware, to its list of nonstop destinations. 

The service, set to begin in November, was announced Thursday, eight months after the carrier, Avelo Airlines, added the route to Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers and Tampa International Airport. The Wilmington Airport, under the call letters ILG, will also become the fourth base of operations for Connecticut-based Avelo, according to a statement. Wilmington is about 30 miles south of Philadelphia. 

Mark Stuckey, executive vice president and chief of staff at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, says the team was excited to add a third destination to the Avelo Airlines lineup. Avelo also flies to New Haven, Connecticut, and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, from SRQ.
