Key services include everyday low fares, with optional add-ons such as checked bags, carry-on bags, priority boarding, and various seating options including Standard, Stretch, and Stretch+. The airline primarily targets B2C leisure travelers and those visiting friends and relatives (VFR), particularly Millennials and Active Retirees, and also serves a growing segment of small business owners in regional markets.

Founded by Andrew Levy, who serves as Chairman and CEO, Avelo Airlines celebrated its fifth anniversary on April 28, 2026, having flown over 9.3 million customers and operated more than 74,000 flights since its inception. The airline has demonstrated strong operational reliability, ranking in the top three for on-time performance and cancellation rate in 2025. Avelo posted its first profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 and anticipates profitability in 2024. Recent developments include an order for up to 100 Embraer 195-E2 aircraft, making it the first U.S. airline to operate this model, with deliveries expected to begin in 2028. Avelo also recently secured significant funding to support its continued expansion into domestic and Caribbean markets and plans to open a fifth base at North Dallas's McKinney National Airport in late 2026.
