Avelo Airlines flies its first one million customers at its Los Angeles / Burbank Base

LOS ANGELES – Just over two years after making history as America’s first new airline to take flight in more than a decade, Avelo Airlines has flown its one millionth Customer from L.A.’s most convenient airport – Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR).

This week, Avelo also surpassed carrying three million customers systemwide since the airline’s debut.

Since taking flight 28 months ago, Avelo has established itself as America’s most reliable airline. In 2023, Avelo has achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate (0.8%) and the second best on-time performance (80.9%) in the U.S. airline industry. In fact, Avelo is L.A.’s most reliable airline with a 0.68% cancellation rate and an 89.4% on-time performance rate for the more than 2,300 flights Avelo has operated at BUR in 2023.

Avelo Airlines CEO and Founder Andrew Levy said, “From the start, Avelo has been on a mission to Inspire Travel by making flying affordable and easy so that our Customers can travel more. Since our first flight in April 2021, over one million travelers have enjoyed the everyday convenience, low fares and industry-leading reliability of flying with us at Hollywood Burbank Airport. We are proud to be America’s most reliable airline – an achievement our L.A. Customers tell us is one of the primary reasons they have switched to Avelo. I appreciate our L.A. Customers for choosing Avelo and our BUR-based Crewmembers for making Avelo the easy way to 13 popular nonstop destinations.”

Avelo currently serves 13 nonstop destinations from BUR: Boise, Idaho (BOI); Brownsville / South Padre Island, Texas (BRO), Colorado Springs, Colo. (COS), Pasco Tri-Cities, Wash. (PSC); two Montana cities: Bozeman (BZN) and Kalispell (FCA); four Oregon cities: Bend/Redmond (RDM), Eugene (EUG), Medford / Rogue Valley (MFR) and Portland / Salem; and three other California cities: Sonoma / Santa Rosa (STS), Eureka / Arcata (ACV) and Redding (RDD).
