Avelo Airlines ranked number one for on-time performance in October 2024, with 90.5 percent of its flights reaching their destinations within 15 minutes of their scheduled arrival time.

The strong month capped off an impressive 10-month stretch for the ultra-low-cost carrier, which boasts the lowest flight cancellation rate through the first 10 months of 2024, based on figures from leading third-party aviation data services company, Anuvu.

Delta Air Lines and United Airlines rounded out the top three spots for October 2024, posting on-time performances of 89.6 percent and 87.0 percent, respectively.

Avelo's industry-leading on-time performance of 85.1 percent to this point in 2024 is significantly higher than the industry average of 77 percent.

"As we enter the busy holiday season, Avelo continues to stand out as America's most reliable airline. This holiday, our customers can count on Avelo to get them where they want to go more reliably than any other airline," said Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy.

"Whether you are visiting friends and family or planning a winter vacation, you can depend on Avelo to get you where you're going on time. Consistently delivering these industry-leading results is not easy—I am grateful to our 1,000 Avelo crewmembers for the unrivaled dedication and teamwork they demonstrate every day for every flight."

Avelo launched just over three years ago and now serves as many as 49 cities spanning 23 states, Puerto Rico and a pair of international destinations in Jamaica and Mexico.
