Delaware may be the First State, but it has been left in the dust by commercial airlines — until now.Low-cost startup Avelo Airlines announced on Thursday that it will open a new base at Wilmington Airport in New Castle, Delaware on February 1. New Castle will be the airline's fourth base in addition to Burbank, California; New Haven, Connecticut; and Orlando, Florida, having had to postpone the opening of Fort Myers due to dwindling demand after Hurricane Ian. The new operation will come with five new routes to Florida using its Boeing 737 NG workhorse and create a gateway to the East Coast state.
