Less than a year after launching service at Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, Avelo Airlines is cutting another nonstop flight to the Northeast.

According to The Charlotte Business Journal, the Houston-based budget carrier said today it will cancel service from Concord to Wilmington Airport in Delaware on Feb. 27. That news comes a month after Avelo confirmed that its nonstop route at Concord-Padgett to Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Connecticut, would end on March 30. Both routes flew twice weekly.
