Lakeland Airport To Offer New Flights Starting In June
Lakeland airport is getting more flights in June and it’s actually from an airline that hasn’t flown at Lakeland before. Avelo Airlines has announced that they will have their first out of Lakeland Linder International Airport. This flight will fly from Lakeland to Tweed-New Haven Airport in Connecticut.
Additionally, the first flight will be on June 13 and will only start at $72 for a one-way ticket. This flight will not be every day and will be only available on Thursdays and Sundays.
A lot of people who live in and around the Lakeland area have to travel to Orlando or Tampa to take a flight out of Florida. This will be good for people that are traveling to the northeast that live in Lakeland.
“This service from Lakeland opens up a world of increasing possibilities for our regional citizens,” Lakeland Mayor Bill Mutz said in a statement. “We anticipate a thriving partnership with Avelo Airlines, providing many adventures ahead.”
Lakeland Airport Isn’t The Only Thing Getting Bigger
The Lakeland airport isn’t the only thing growing in Central Florida. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Polk County is the fastest growing county in the entire United States. In 2022 around 30,000 new people moved into Polk County. Additionally, that’s more than any other county in the state of Florida and in the nation.
This is great news for the people that live in Polk County. If you want to take a flight to New York City or somewhere in the northeast, you can fly to New Haven, Connecticut, which is not too far from New York. It will cost you less money and you won’t have to deal with going through the New York City airports.
You also don’t have to drive along I-4 to get to Orlando International Airport or Tampa International Airport. Going to the Lakeland Airport will also save you some money.
