Avelo Airlines Announces New Nonstop Service from Boise to Hollywood Burbank
BOISE, Idaho, March 9, 2022 — Avelo Airlines today announced it is introducing new nonstop service from Boise to Hollywood Burbank this spring. The new service will offer Southwestern Idaho a more convenient and affordable alternative for visiting Southern California’s attractions, the great outdoors or going back and forth visiting friends and relatives.
Introductory one-way fares between Boise Airport (BOI) and LA’s best airport — Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) — starting at $59* are available at AveloAir.com.
Avelo Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Boise — say hello to Avelo. Getting to Southern California is now easier and more affordable than ever. Whether you are coming to soak in some Southern California sun or enjoy the region’s world-famous attractions and entertainment, or visiting friends and family, Avelo will save you time and money so you can enjoy even more of what LA has to offer.”
Avelo will operate Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft on the route beginning May 24, 2022. The new route will operate on Mondays and Fridays, with a special inaugural flight on Tuesday, May 24. Flight days and times below:

Boise Airport Director Rebecca Hupp said, “The Boise Airport is thrilled to welcome Avelo Airlines later this spring. The addition of service to Hollywood Burbank Airport provides more nonstop travel options for our region—and easy access to downtown LA, Hollywood, Pasadena and other attractions throughout Southern California just in time for summer vacations. We look forward to a thriving partnership with Avelo.”
LA’s Best Airport
Situated in the heart of Southern California, BUR is surrounded by LA’s iconic beaches, dining, entertainment, shopping and sun-soaked outdoor recreation.
Hollywood Burbank Airport Executive Director Frank Miller said, “We look forward to welcoming visitors from Idaho. Expanding to the Inland Northwest with service to Boise opens up wonderful opportunities to enjoy the convenience of flying in and out of BUR.”
Whether Customers are departing or arriving, BUR offers a refreshingly convenient and hassle-free experience. Named the 2019 “Best U.S. Airport” by Fodor’s Travel, BUR features include seamless curbside pickup and drop-off, smaller crowds, unrivaled speed for plane-to-carousel bag delivery, faster TSA security lines, and short walking distances between the terminal and ground transportation, parking, and rental cars (instead of the time-consuming shuttles and trains necessary at larger airports). All of this makes BUR the ultra-convenient, stress-free gateway to LA.
A Different, Better and More Affordable Travel Experience
There is no charge for Customers who choose to make reservations by phone. Additionally, Avelo offers several unbundled travel-enhancing options that give Customers the flexibility to pay for what they value, including priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags, and for bringing a pet in the cabin.
Avelo operates single-class, fuel-efficient 189-seat 737-800 Boeing jets to BUR, offering Customers a more spacious and comfortable experience than the regional aircraft historically serving this airport. Customers may choose from several seating options, including seats with extra leg room, as well as pre-reserved window and aisle seating.
Avelo became America’s first new scheduled airline in nearly 15 years when it initiated service on April 28, 2021, from its first base at BUR. The airline – which offers a convenient, affordable, and caring experience – currently serves 18 popular destinations across the U.S.
Avelo is distinguished by its Soul of Service culture. The culture is grounded in a “One Crew” mindset that promotes teamwork, understanding and kindness. By caring for one another and owning their commitments, Avelo Crewmembers provide a smooth, enjoyable, reliable, and caring experience for its Customers.
