Brazil's Embraer lands first U.S. order for E2 jets with Avelo Airlines buying 50 planes U.S. upstart airline Avelo said it placed a firm order for 50 Embraer E195‑E2 jets, a win for the Brazilian manufacturer.

Hi Andrew Levy, I know you’re hoping that we stop these protests but just know we won’t!

We are not sure how these new planes will fare in terms of investment, but the people have told you that they do not want to fly planes that service ICE.

We will #StopAvelo

What would Avelo say if they were honest about pulling out of the West Coast almost 6 weeks before scheduled?

Maybe something like “You guys are amazing at Protesting! Good job!”

Well, they didn’t say any of that, but you can click here to see what they actually said: www.kget.com/news/avelo-a...

We’re gathering TODAY at 10AM in Nashville to protest Avelo’s deportation flights. Stand with us to say: our community won’t be complicit in ICE’s cruelty. ✈️💔 #StopAvelo

Low-cost airline cancels U.S. route due to low demand, travelers may not get refunds The Houston-based carrier is reportedly scrapping the flight due to low passenger traffic.

And just like that, Avelo ends its passage in Portland, Maine. ✈️

The article might not mention the work of the Coalition, but we know the real story. We know how — and we know why — demand was reduced.

ICE Uses Celebrities’ Loophole to Hide Deportation Flights Celebrities like Taylor Swift have long used a little-known Federal Aviation Administration program to shield their private jets’ flight records from public view. Now ICE is using the program to hide ...

ICE is using the FAA’s private jet blacklist to shield its own activity from public scrutiny. Two Avelo jets were added to the list earlier this month.

Despite Recent West Coast Cuts, Avelo Airlines Eyes Fleet Growth For East Coast Expansion This move comes shortly after the airline announced cuts across its West Coast network.

Avelo thinks that after ceasing operations on the West Coast, they can simply just hop to the East coast!

That’s awkward. They act as if the East won’t also chew them up and spit them out!

Avelo, there is no rest for you!!

We are #coming to #stopavelo

Do we think it’s a coincidence that Avelo is cancelling routes along the places we have hosted protests?

We don’t think so….
