No Word On When Avelo Airlines Will Begin Flights

The Dubuque Regional Airport director Todd Dalsing has told Dubuque City Council members that he could not yet provide an update on when a new air carrier will make its debut flight from Dubuque. Dalsing shared with council members an update on progress toward Avelo Airlines making its first flights from the airport while presenting a proposed budget for fiscal year 2024. The airline originally was scheduled to make its first flight out of Dubuque on January 11th, but that flight was canceled after Dalsing announced the airport had not secured approval of its complete security plan from the Transportation Security Administration. Since then, Avelo has been operating its scheduled Dubuque flights out of Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids as local officials continue working to receive approval for their plan.
