America's Most Convenient Airline
Avelo was founded to
Inspire Travel by saving its travelers time and money. Since taking
flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo has
flown more than 4.6 million Customers on over 36,000 flights.
Today, Avelo serves 52 destinations in 23 states and Puerto Rico.
Avelo has unlocked a new era of convenience, choice, and
competition by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved
communities across the country. Every route has at least one small,
easy to use airport. This makes every Avelo journey a smooth, easy,
and more enjoyable experience than contending with the crowds,
congestion, and long walks at larger airports.
Avelo is distinguished by industry-leading reliability. In 2023,
the airline achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate (0.2%) in
the U.S. airline industry and ranked #2 in on-time performance with
82.8% of all Avelo flights arriving at their destinations within 15
minutes of their scheduled arrival time – the Department of
Transportation's (DOT) standard metric for reporting on-time
performance in the U.S. airline industry known as A14. In
April 2024 Avelo ranked #1 in on-time
performance and achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate among
all U.S. carriers. These results are reported by Anuvu's
third-party data platform. Anuvu is utilized by The Wall Street
Journal for the publication's annual best and worst airline
ranking.
Avelo Customers can always change or cancel their itineraries
with no extra fees. Additionally, families can travel with ease
knowing every child 13 and under will always be automatically
seated with an accompanying adult at no additional cost.

inches to more than 36 inches, offering a more comfortable
experience for Customers who value more space. In addition to
advance seat assignments, Avelo offers several unbundled
travel-enhancing options that give Customers the flexibility to pay
only for what they value, including priority boarding, checked
bags, carry-on overhead bags, and bringing a pet in the cabin.
