The Dubuque Airport is welcoming a new airline with nonstop service to Orlando and the introductory rates are insanely cheap.

On Thursday, Avelo Airlines announced Dubuque, Iowa as the newest city in its network with exclusive nonstop service to Orlando International Airport (MCO).

With the announcement of exclusive nonstop service to Orlando, Avelo is introducing a new era of affordable, convenient, and reliable air travel to Dubuque and the tri-state areas of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
