Avelo Airlines has declared that it will be closing its base in California as it is supposed to offer workers the possibility to relocate to other hubs across the East Coast. The airline currently hollds bases in North Carolina, Florida, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.
The move comes as part of the airline’s restructuring, not the recent protests over its contract with the White House, the company says. It was previously denounced for a deal with the Trump administration to transport migrants to detention sites in and outside the United States.
Customers holding existing reservations out of the California location will have the option to cancel their trips online and receive a refund.
A spokesperson for the airline said that neither the public rallies nor its contract with the Department of Homeland Security impacted the decision to close the base or affected overall business operations.
