“Safety, Quality and Cost”
Pedro Fábregas, Envoy’s President & CEO, attributes this measured and sustainable success to the company’s unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and cost.
According to Fábregas, these three principles are at the core of every operation, ensuring the delivery of safe, high-performing, and cost-effective regional service.
Envoy Air Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group (NASDAQ: AAL), currently operates a fleet of over 160 aircraft, executing 800 daily flights to more than 160 destinations.
With a workforce of over 19,000 employees, Envoy stands as a vital regional flight service provider under the American Eagle brand.
Envoy Air – History and Evolution
Founded in 1998 as American Eagle Airlines, Inc., Envoy emerged from the merger of several regional carriers, creating one of the world’s largest regional airlines.
The company’s headquarters are situated in Irving, Texas, with significant operations in American’s hubs, including Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago, and Miami.
On April 15, 2014, the company underwent a significant transformation, changing its name to Envoy Air Inc. to distinguish itself from the American Eagle brand.
This move aimed to clarify the brand identity, especially as several carriers operated regional flight services for American under the American Eagle umbrella.
The Envoy Fleet
Envoy’s fleet evolution includes the continuous addition of two-class Embraer 175 (E175) and Embraer 170 (E170) aircraft.
These spacious planes, with 76 and 65 seats respectively, provide a seamless travel experience for customers connecting to and from mainline flights.
In addition to the large E175 and E170 regional jets, Envoy maintains a fleet of smaller regional jets, such as the Embraer 145, offering 50 seats for passengers seeking a more intimate travel experience.
