Avelo Airlines adds 4 destinations from McKinney National Airport as commercial terminal opening nears

By the end of 2026, passengers will be able to fly to nine domestic destinations from McKinney National Airport.

Avelo Airlines announced the addition of four nonstop service routes that will launch at McKinney National Airport in mid-December, including Atlanta, Denver, Nashville and New Orleans. The newly announced destinations join the five nonstop routes to four Florida cities as well as Las Vegas that Avelo Airlines officials announced earlier this year.

The specifics: Air service will begin Nov. 11 upon completion of a new commercial passenger service terminal that's been under construction since 2025. Avelo Airlines signed on as the first commercial service provider in late 2025.

The airline will begin operations by offering flights to Las Vegas and four cities in Florida: Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Orlando and Tampa.

The update: Service to the newly announced destinations is set to begin Dec. 16 and will be operated at varying frequencies depending on the destination. New destinations include:

  • Atlanta, Georgia

  • Denver, Colorado

  • Nashville, Tennessee

  • New Orleans, Louisiana

Quote of note: “The response from North Texas has been extraordinary, and the bookings back that up,” Avelo Airlines founder and CEO Andrew Levy said in a news release. “Adding four new destinations and a third based aircraft further cements our commitment to Collin County.”
