As of now, they'll dwindle flights down with plans to stop west coast flights in December of this year.

Avelo Airlines had several flights out of Burbank including the direct flight to Pasco making it easy and affordable to fly to Southern California.

Fox Business did say that the employees at the Burbank location did have an option to transfer to another Avelo Airlines hub on the east coast including Florida, North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Connecticut.

Tri-Cities Airport is still offering direct flight to Los Angeles with Alaska Airlines.

Avelo Airlines service from Tri-Cities wasn't active for very long. Only about a year before this announcement.

Fortunately, Tri-Cities Airport will continue all other services and hopefully add more direct flights from its current airlines in the future.
