Avelo Airlines, which operates multiple routes in and out of the Redmond Airport, will close its Burbank Airport base and end multiple routes from RDM.

In a statement Monday, Avelo CEO Andrew Levy said the carrier will end operations out of Burbank by Dec. 2.

Avelo will cut seven West Coast routes in mid-August. That includes flights between Redmond and Burbank, Santa Rosa, Calif., and Las Vegas. Its only other flight servicing the Redmond Airport is a seasonal flight to Palm Springs. If that flight will return in the fall is unknown.
