Speak Up: Responses to “where would you like to fly?”

Avelo Airlines’ inaugural flight from Wilmington Airport took to the skies heading to Florida recently.

What should the new ferry fleet include?

The Delaware River & Bay Authority hosted a virtual meeting Feb. 23 to discuss the Cape May-Lewes Ferry master plan and gather community and stakeholder input.
