HOUSTON — As the busy summer travel season takes flight, Avelo Airlines says it continues to lead the U.S. airline industry in operational reliability.
A news release from the airline said that in May, the airline ranked #1 in on-time performance and delivered the lowest flight cancellation rate in the industry – the second straight month Avelo led the industry in both metrics. Additionally, for the first five months of 2024, Avelo reportedly climbed to #1 in on-time performance and maintained the second-lowest flight cancellation rate among all U.S. carriers.
These results were reported by Anuvu, a leading aviation data services company also utilized by The Wall Street Journal for the publication’s annual airline ranking. Anuvu’s complete industry results and rankings are available at AveloAir.com.
“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, Avelo is consistently getting our customers where they want to go on-time more than any other airline,” Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said. “As we head into the busy summer travel season, our customers can have the peace of mind knowing they are placing their trust in the industry leader in operational reliability.”
For the month of May, Avelo says it ranked #1 in on-time performance and achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate among all U.S. carriers. Avelo delivered its #1 on-time performance with 88% of the airline’s flights arriving 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. Avelo’s A14 eclipsed the industry average of 72.5% and far exceeded the 80% reported by the #2 carrier in May.
“Avelo’s 0.1% flight cancellation rate in May also led the industry, far ahead of the industry average flight cancellation rate of 1.4%. Out of the 1,504 Avelo flights scheduled to operate last month, the airline cancelled only two flights,” the release said.
Avelo’s 2024 A14 is now 84%, which leads the airline industry and its flight cancellation rate of 0.3% is the second lowest rate through May 2024.
