CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Avelo Airlines is entering 2025 as Charlotte’s most reliable airline. In 2024, Avelo ranked #1 in on-time performance and achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate in the U.S. airline industry — outperforming every other domestic airline operating at Charlotte International Airport (CLT) and Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA).

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Avelo is entering 2025 with a strong tailwind of world-class customer satisfaction, industry-leading reliability, and network growth. As Charlotte’s most reliable airline, travelers can count on Avelo to get them where they want to go on time and with their bags. 2024 was our best year yet, and 2025 promises to be even better as we continue fulfilling our purpose to Inspire Travel with more airplanes and more exciting destinations.”

In 2024, Avelo ranked #1 in on-time performance. Between January and December 2024, 83.9% of all Avelo flights arrived 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. This was a meaningful improvement over Avelo’s second-place A14 performance of 82.8% and eclipses the 2024 industry average on-time arrival rate of 77.6%.

Investing and Growing in Charlotte

Avelo will open its Charlotte base on March 6, 2025. The airline will initially position one Boeing Next-Generation 737 at USA and will add a second 737 in April 2025.

To support its new base, the airline anticipates creating up to 50 jobs. These positions will include a combination of Avelo Crewmembers (employees) and jobs with Avelo business partners operating at USA. Roles will include Airport Customer Service, Flight Attendants, Pilots, Aircraft Technical Operations and Maintenance, and Supervisors.
