Yesterday was a momentous and exciting day for the City of Lakeland, Polk County and the entire Central Florida region as we said Hello to Avelo Airlines at Lakeland Linder International Airport! Arriving ahead of schedule from Tweed New Haven Airport, Flight 401 rolled into Lakeland at 10:28am, on a perfect day for flying.
