Fleet
Avelo Airlines (IATA: XP, ICAO: VXP) is an American ultra-low-cost carrier that began operations on April 28, 2021. Based in Houston, Texas, the airline operates a focused network of 31 destinations from five strategic hubs: Harry Reid International Airport (Las Vegas), Orlando International Airport, Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport (Connecticut), Hollywood Burbank Airport (Los Angeles area), and Raleigh–Durham International Airport.
The airline's fleet consists of Boeing 737 aircraft, modern single-aisle jets suited to short- and medium-haul routes. With approximately 1,100 employees and 15 aircraft, Avelo deliberately targets underserved markets and secondary airports where legacy carriers have limited presence, positioning itself as a cost-competitive alternative for point-to-point travel.
Avelo's business model centers on transparency and unbundled pricing: passengers pay only for what they use. The airline offers free personal items, optional paid carry-on and checked baggage, and rewards active-duty military members and credit card holders with baggage benefits. Online check-in opens 24 hours before departure via website or mobile app, with no online check-in fees.
