Rome wasn't built in a day, but an impressive track record for one of America's newest airlines seems to be.
Air travel is both an amazing feat we all take for granted and one of the most frustrating experiences in our lives at times.
Yet, the lesser-known airline Avelo has built up a loyal following, and with good reason.
The statistics from Anuvu, a leading aviation data service, prove the Houston-based airline is the most reliable U.S. carrier heading into summer.
It's not the first time the airline has made a name for itself. Avelo has been consistently dishing out timely flights since its inception in 2021.
Naturally, travelers may wonder what the holdup is with their go-to airlines. You know, Southwest, Delta, United…all the household names that have been around for decades.
That's a fair question, and Avelo believes they have an answer.
Houston, There's No Problem Here
Over the past 3 years, Avelo has forged their own path to success putting fears of flight disruptions to bed.
However, crying children and entitled seat-reclining “Karens” may still be a nuisance.
For the always-dreaded flight delays and cancelations, however, your anxiety should go out the window when booking with Avelo.
Why? The proof is in the pudding:
Avelo leads the nation in on-time performance and least flight cancellations in May 2024.
Additionally, this isn't just a one-off. For the entirety of 2024 to this point, Avelo has maintained its #1 spot in on-time performance and sits second for lowest flight cancellation rates throughout the year.
It's not too shabby for a 3-year-old airline.
Oddly enough, even being headquartered in Houston, there is only one flight from H-Town. But, whatever they're doing, whether it's receiving secrets from NASA or the sheer mastery of their award winning CEO, it's clearly working.
Avelo Flies To Many Of America's Top Destinations
Can you imagine how difficult it must be to launch a new airline? I mean, someone has to do it, but it must be a nightmare.
Avelo's rise to becoming the self-proclaimed ‘most convenient' U.S. airline seems effortless as they now fly to 53 destinations across America.
No, you don't need your passport for any Avelo flight. But you don't have to go beyond our borders for an incredible trip.
Puerto Rico is as close as it gets for now as an international vacation spot, but there are many others to consider visiting this summer.
While it's best to view the airline's route map, here are 10 amazing summer destinations in Avelo's network:
- Los Angeles
- Myrtle Beach
- Boston
- Orlando
- Miami
- Destin/Fort Walton
- South Padre Island
- Chicago
- Washington DC
- San Juan
Avelo flies to 10 great vacation spots in Florida alone, but there are vast options to choose from Montana to Texas to multiple East Coast gems.
America's ‘Most Convenient' Airline
Longtime budget airline staples Spirit and Frontier dropped game-changing news recently, which should shake up the low-cost carrier industry. Time will tell…
That being said, those 2 airlines aren't so original. Following Avelo's lead, both airlines, which just so happen to be notoriously nit-picky with bag sizes and just about every inconvenient policy imaginable, is trying to save face.
Dropping flight change fees and cancellation charges is old news compared to Avelo, which has strived to be the most convenient domestic airline.
Additionally, the airline doesn't cram you in without advanced notice – travelers can purchase seats to their liking transparently displayed on their website or app.
One key ingredient to Avelo's success is flying out of smaller airports. Even in their headquarters of Houston, they opt to fly out of Hobby Airport.
This all but ensures less likelihood of flight disruptions with less planes on the runway. For example, travelers flying to Boston will land in Manchester, NH and travelers flying to San Francisco will land in Sonoma.
“Our team of 1,000 Avelo Crewmembers is relentlessly focused on building the industry's most reliable airline. Our 2024 on-time leadership is substantial validation of our progress towards that goal. Despite flying in some of the most operationally challenging regions of the country.”
Founder and CEO Andrew Levy, Avelo Airlines
