GLO Airlines was an American regional airline brand based in New Orleans, Louisiana.

History

The airline started service in November 2015 and utilized a fleet of three 30-seat Saab 340B aircraft. GLO was founded by Calvin "Trey" Fayard and was operated by Corporate Flight Management (CFM).

In April 2017, the airline was in a contract dispute with Corporate Flight Management, and the operator "unilaterally terminated its contract to operate GLO's program and fly passengers". The airline filed for bankruptcy protection as a result and suspended operations temporarily until April 25. GLO service was suspended again on July 15, 2017, and never resumed service.

In September 2017, the company was liquidated.
