Date: Thursday, March 9, 2023

Dubuque, IA - Avelo Airlines announced today it will officially begin flying at Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ) on March 22. Free bus service will be provided March 22, 25 and 29 to Customers who need to return to their origination point at Cedar Rapids' Eastern Iowa Airport (CID).

Avelo will operate twice weekly nonstop service between DBQ and Orlando's most convenient airport - Orland International Airport (MCO) - Wednesdays and Saturdays.

As previously reported, DBQ was unable to secure the necessary Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) approval of its airport security plan in time for Avelo Airlines' debut on January 11. Avelo has temporarily operated its twice weekly service to MCO from CID. DBQ officials confirmed they received the necessary TSA authorization.

Customers with upcoming reservations on Avelo can visit AveloAir.com/DBQ-INFO for more information.

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “We’re excited to finally begin service at DBQ. We know traveling to another airport was frustrating for Avelo Customers while DBQ officials secured the airport’s security plan approval from TSA. We can’t wait to begin providing our Customers with the convenient and smooth travel experience from DBQ they want.”

Dubuque Regional Airport Chair Mike Phillips said, “We are so excited to welcome Avelo Airlines to Dubuque and the tri-state area starting on March 22. We are truly thankful to be a part of their network. Orlando is our most popular leisure destination and travelers will
appreciate the ease and convenience of flying nonstop from DBQ as well as our other amenities such as free parking and free Wi-Fi.
