Avelo Airlines’ Post

We’re honored to share that last Thursday evening, Avelo’s Founder and CEO Andrew Levy was selected as an EY 2024 Entrepreneur Of The Year in the competition’s Gulf South region. This distinction is a tribute to all 1,000 Avelo Crewmembers who have driven Avelo’s growth and impact over the past three years. The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program is the preeminent competition for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. Andrew was selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, and other business leaders. Candidates were evaluated based on their ability to create long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to their purpose, and the demonstration of growth and substantial impact. The industry-leading operational reliability, worldclass customer satisfaction, and recent profitability milestones we’ve achieved are positively positioning Avelo for the substantial opportunities ahead. This prestigious recognition is a testament to the leadership, teamwork, and dedication to excellence distinguishing Avelo. As a Gulf South regional winner, Andrew is now eligible for the 2024 Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards which will be announced in November. Over the years, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program has recognized the leadership of many admired entrepreneurs, including Starbucks’ Howard Schultz, LinkedIn’s Reid Hoffman and Jeff Weiner, Fitbit’s James Park, and Kendra Scott , among others. Congratulations Andrew - and everyone at Avelo - on this illustrious distinction.

We join America in celebrating Juneteenth and the freedom & opportunity this historic day commemorates.
