Envoy Air

Envoy is owned by American's parent company and flies as American Eagle. It was called American Eagle Airlines until it took the Envoy name in 2014. Because American owns it, nearly all of its flying belongs to American.

How it changed

Envoy Air carried 19.1 million passengers in 2025, its busiest year in this data.

Its average flight had 43 seats in 2000 and 73 in 2025, a sign of larger aircraft replacing smaller ones. The average passenger flew 258 miles per segment in 2000 and 533 in 2025, and 82% of its seat-miles were filled in 2025.

Who it flew for

Envoy has always been owned by American and its parent company, and has flown as American Eagle throughout, so its flying belongs to American.

The fleet

Envoy Air operated 179 passenger aircraft of its own in 2025. The average age was 9.7 years: 17% of the aircraft were under five years old and 14% were twenty or older. The oldest was an Embraer E170 built in 2004.

In 2006 the average age was 5.3 years across 275 aircraft. It's older now by 4.4 years, and the fleet is smaller.

Fuel

In 2025 Envoy Air burned 292 million gallons of jet fuel, which is 42.5 seat-miles per gallon and about 0.279 kg of CO2 per passenger-mile. Over 500 miles that's roughly 140 kg per passenger. Small regional aircraft burn more fuel per seat than the mainline jets, and a short hop spends a larger share of its fuel on take-off and climb, so these figures aren't graded against the airlines on the main list. Their flying and fuel are counted in the airlines whose names are on the tickets.
