Redding is finding its place as a jet set community, according to the Shasta Economic Development Corporation, which says that over 18,000 people are flying in and out of Redding every month, an increase of 147% from the same time period in 2019. The boost in air travel is largely driven by the fledgling Avelo Airlines, which offers non-stop flights out of Redding to and from Las Vegas and Burbank. Avelo was founded just over a year ago, finding their niche by servicing smaller regional airports like Redding.
