Notable history
Founded in 2018 by former Allegiant CFO Andrew Levy as Houston Air; rebranded Avelo and began service in April 2021. Operates a low-cost model from secondary airports (HVN — Tweed New Haven; BUR — Hollywood Burbank) avoiding direct competition with the major carriers. Among the few new US scheduled carriers to launch and survive in the 2020s.
About this profile
Reference data (codes, headquarters, founding year, alliance, ownership) is curated from each carrier's own published materials, the US DOT BTS Form 41 filings, and SEC filings for publicly-listed carriers. Fleet rosters reflect the active in-service fleet at the time of the most recent data refresh; aircraft on order are not counted toward fleet totals. Average fleet age is calculated from the same active fleet.
Hubs and focus cities are sourced from the carrier's own destinations or about pages. Loyalty program partner lists are drawn from each program's published partner roster.
This profile is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the US DOT BTS Form 41 release schedule.
