Hey guys,

I noticed today that a former colleague's LinkedIn profile was updated to say they work for "Aspire Airlines". It seems that Aspire is some new charter airline based out of YYC but when I googled I could not find anything on them. Does anyone know anything about them?

Maybe the old R1 rising from the ashes ?

Yep that's the new Regional 1

Does that make it Regional 2?

So... apparently Aspire Airlines has shut down? What happened??? They seemed to have a very robust management team with a lot of former Canadian North people.

Canadian North management team?? Oxymoron. That is probably why they shut down. Anything but robust.

Beat me to the punch, that airline burnt money

Actually, I know a lot of the guys that went to start-up Aspire. Some really accomplished folks, the Hankirks apparently were involved, some of the guys from maintenance, regulatory affairs. I am just curious to find out what happened, they seemed to have bog ambitious plans.

Like I said, and was mentioned above, what accomplishments besides burning through money? There is a reason they are no longer with Canadian North/Bradley Air Services.

Expire airlines or R3. RIP. Better luck next time!
