New Services Avelo Airlines is starting three new routes from Orlando – Greenville/Spartanburg, a logical one, but then two incredible odd-balls. Brownsville, Texas which through the years has had virtually no commercial air service and then the relatively new, and previously un-served Mobile-Downtown Airport which is a white elephant of sorts.
