Avelo Airlines celebrated its one-year anniversary of service at the Daytona Beach International Airport on Friday, June 21.

Avelo passegers traveling between DAB and Tweed New Haven Airport in Connecticut were greeted with a celebration and gift certificates to several pizzerias in New Haven, as the town was honored last month as "The Pizza Capital of the United States" at a special ceremony at the Capitol.

"This milestone is a validation of the airline’s commitment to growth at DAB and industry-leading affordability, reliability and convenience Avelo has introduced to Daytona Beach-area travelers," a press release stated.

DAB Airport Director Kare Feaster said in the press release that the airport is excited to be celebrating its first year of service with Avelo.

"The greater New York area has traditionally been one of our top markets for air service and these Avelo flights to/from New Haven to Daytona Beach have proven that Daytona Beach is its own destination, and travelers will support new service," Feaster said.

Since the airline began service at DAB one year ago, Avelo has flown almost 50,000 customers on nearly 350 flights, according to the press release.
