Rochester's airport has a new airline carrier. Starting in June, low-cost carrier Avelo will provide direct flights between the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina. Rochester will be the second city in New York state, after Binghamton, to provide trips from the Houston-based airline. Flights are scheduled for Mondays and Fridays, with initial one-way fares as low as $39. Avelo's fleet of Boeing 737 planes have been used in more than 15,000 flights since the company started operating in April 2021, said Bud Hafer, the company's director of airport relations.
