2025 was another great year for Envoy. From expanding our team and fleet to celebrating incredible achievements and partnerships, we continue to build on success and carry that momentum into 2026.

Lights, Camera, Envoy!
Some of our best content has been when Envoy employees are in front of the camera doing what they do best. A few of our videos this year showed our behind the scenes partnerships from across Irving to South America. We shared a partnership with WHILL to support customers with reduced mobility, focusing on the Envoy team in Miami, Florida (MIA). And we shared our Telly Award-Winning behind-the scenes-look at what it takes to bring our growing Embraer fleet to the United States..
Flying High Together: Envoy’s Industry Partners
Our recruiting and communications teams traveled around the country to aviation conferences and industry events to promote Envoy and interview the best talent. The conferences included, the Latino Professionals in Aerospace Industry Expo, National Gay Pilots Association Winter Warm-Up, the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals Conference, the Professional Asian Pilots Association Expo, SUN ‘n FUN, and the Women in Aviation International (WAI) Conference.
Envoy Hall of Fame: Celebrating Excellence
We celebrated 20 individuals who won the highest award at Envoy, the President’s Award for their outstanding work in 2024. A few that were highlighted included Baqash Wilson, Benjamin Hernandez, Demian Harris, and Sabrina Guyll. Our leadership continued the winning streak with President & CEO Pedro Fábregas winning his 11th consecutive Dallas 500 honor and Senior VPs Chanen Lively and Chris Pappaioanou both taking home awards at the D CEO 2025 Corporate Counsel Awards.
Envoy’s Journey to New Heights
2025 saw Envoy expand to 21,000 employees in the spring and then 22,000 in December. We had the largest class of interns yet with 28 talented students joining Envoy from across the country. And we expanded our reach by opening McAllen, Texas (MFE) and South Bend, Indiana (SBN) while also expanding our scope at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PIT). Finally, we announced the addition of 33 new Embraeer 175 aircraft bringing our total fleet commitment to 214 aircraft.
Beyond the Uniform: Envoy’s Hidden Talents
Envoy employees wear many hats and we love to share about their adventures. This year we met a filmmaker and a Hollywood makeup artist in our Double Life Features.
Trending with Envoy: Stories that Stole the Spotlight
This year, we had many social media posts go viral. The top ones included some divas like Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Bad Bunny joining our fleet. A heartwarming story of how a passenger partnered with the crew to feed a plane full of hungry passengers. Gianna Disanto shared her story of going from an Envoy Ramp Agent to an American Airlines Flight Attendant. And we teared up at the touching story of Captain Brittany Gallarneau sharing the story of the first Captain she looked up to, her dad.
Party Like Envoy: Events That Rocked 2025
Our Envoy events and Culture, Recognition and Engagement at Work (CREW) teams made sure we had lots of fun this year. We held three family and kid events at Envoy Headquarters (EHQ) and a Culture Fest that brought together dozens of countries celebrating the world within our walls.
60 Seconds with Envoy Stars: We took a quick minute to sit down with some Envoy employees and learn a little more them in the series, 60-Second Interview. Just a few of the wonderful people we got to meet this year include: Esther Liu, Luz Mijangos, Michael Walton, and Tiana Lofberg.
As we head into 2026, we’re excited to build on this momentum, continue investing in our people and deliver even more for our customers.
