The airline started service in November 2015 and utilized a fleet of three 30-seat Saab 340B aircraft.{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2015/09/30/the-nations-newest-start-up-airline-is-new-orleans-based-glo/73081650/|title=The nation's newest start-up airline is New Orleans-based GLO|publisher=|accessdate=21 May 2018}} GLO was founded by Calvin "Trey" Fayard and was operated by Corporate Flight Management.{{Cite web|title = About Glo {{!}} GLO|url = http://www.flyglo.com/about-glo/|website = www.flyglo.com|accessdate = 2015-10-02|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151025134935/http://www.flyglo.com/about-glo/|archive-date = 2015-10-25|url-status = dead}}
In April 2017, GLO Airlines declared bankruptcy, after Corporate Flight Management "unilaterally terminated its contract to operate GLO's program and fly passengers". Operations were initially suspended; however, they resumed on 25 April.{{cite web|url=http://www.nwaonline.com/news/2017/apr/26/in-reversal-startup-airline-ok-to-fly-2/?business|title=After emergency bankruptcy hearing, startup airline OK to fly; flights out of Little Rock to continue|publisher=|accessdate=21 May 2018}} GLO service was suspended again on July 15, 2017, and has not resumed.Thompson, Richard.
