Inaugural Flight: Avelo Airlines New Haven - Washington Dulles

On July 12, 2024, Avelo Airlines launched their 49th destination: Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). This is their second airport in the DC area following Baltimore (BWI) in 2022, with Avelo being the 43rd and latest carrier to serve the US capital’s international airport. Here, I took the inaugural flight from Tween-New Haven Airport (HVN), complete with two water cannon salutes, and a ribbon cutting with officials from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
As frequently noted, the Boeing 737-700 is my favorite aircraft.
Special thanks to flight attendants Raytiana, Lindsey and Eliana, as well as Captain Patrick and First Officer Douglas.

Now this is a well done trip report. No overdubbed music, no constant commentary…just letting the video do its thing with ATC as a bonus. Well done!!!

That's how I roll. 😎 Thank you for watching.

Excellent video. I love the ATC

[@gordo1163]

I really like your videos. They are high quality and capture everything from take off and landing. Adding ATC in the background is also pretty cool.
