Dubuque Regional Airport Postpones First Avelo Flight

The Dubuque Regional Airport is postponing the debut of Avelo Airlines. Airport officials said the airport wasn’t able to obtain the Transportation Security Administration’s approval of the airport’s security plan in time. The first Avelo flight from Dubuque to Orlando was scheduled for Wednesday, but was cancelled. To compensate passengers, Avelo is giving its customers a full refund, a 400 dollar check for every traveler on their itinerary, and a 200 dollar Avelo Travel Fund Credit for each traveler on the itinerary. In the meantime, Avelo is searching for other airports the airline can use for the Dubuque flights while the Dubuque Regional Airport secures the TSA approval.
