EAST HAVEN, Conn.; May 11, 2022 – Avelo Airlines and Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) are partnering with the Town of East Haven to host a job fair at The Hagaman Memorial Public Library this Saturday, May 14. The job fair will be in the library’s DeMayo Room between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. located at 227 Main Street, East Haven, CT 06512. Everyone is welcome to come learn more about the exciting career opportunities with Avelo and Tweed.
In total, 200 local jobs have been created at HVN since Avelo’s arrival last November. Avelo celebrated its first six months serving Tweed last week where it is inspiring travel through the airline’s 150 HVN-based Crewmembers. Since November, an additional 50 jobs have been created at Tweed, including operational roles with Avports (which operates Tweed), as well as jobs at the airport’s G Café Bakery and with the rental car companies serving HVN.
Avelo and Avports expect to fill an additional 50 HVN-based jobs over the next six months.
Town of East Haven Mayor Joseph A. Carfora said, “We always want East Haven residents to be afforded opportunities for employment. Job fairs like this one that engage our citizens are always positive.”
HVN-based career opportunities include customer service and ground support, aircraft maintenance, flight attendants, pilots, facilities management, airport operations, as well as supervisory positions. Avelo and Avports representatives at the job fair will share information about the many different roles the airline and airport are hiring for today and in the future. Candidates can review and apply easily for HVN-based jobs with Avelo at AveloAir.com/Careers and with Avports at hvnjobs.com/avports.
Avelo Airlines Head of People Jim Lynde said, “Our Crewmembers work together as One Crew to help each other help our Customers save time and money. We are delighted by Mayor Carfora’s invitation to host a spring job fair in the Town of East Haven. If you live in East Haven, share our Soul of Service and want to learn about how you can build your career as we grow Avelo together, we’d love to meet you on Saturday.”

Avelo offers competitive pay, comprehensive healthcare benefits, a 401K retirement plan with generous matching, and free stand-by air travel on Avelo, among many other benefits. Additionally, Avelo Crewmembers have access to Avelo University, which offers job-readiness training and ongoing career development courses. Grounded in the airline’s “One Crew” value, Avelo offers a team-oriented, friendly, welcoming and caring culture.
HVN Executive Director Sean Scanlon said, “As service grows at Tweed, so do the number of jobs. Since November, we’ve created more than 200 new local jobs. We encourage East Haven residents to come on Saturday and learn how they can apply to join our fast-growing team.”
As a new airline, Avelo is an excellent opportunity for individuals at all stages in their career to join a successful and fast-growing company. Avelo expanded to the East Coast last November when it opened its base at Tweed. Avelo currently serves 14 destinations from HVN across the Southeast, MidAtlantic and Midwest with five American-made Boeing 737s.
Avports CEO Jorge Roberts said, “Avports is hiring at Tweed. We're currently hiring for airport operations, facility maintenance and a business analyst. We look forward to meeting and hiring more of our neighbors in East Haven.”
On Saturday, Avelo will be giving away one pair of roundtrip tickets to anywhere the airline flies. Attendees can enter the drawing at the job fair.
Avelo actively supports the East Haven community. The airline is a member of the East Haven Chamber of Commerce, gave away 16 roundtrip flights at the East Haven Annual Easter Egg Hunt, and is sponsoring the 2022 East Haven Fall Festival, among other upcoming community events. The airline also supports other local and state-wide community endeavors, which include flying 40 Connecticut Special Olympics athletes and coaches for free to the 2022 U.S. Games in Orlando next month.
