Canada 3000
Canada 3000 was a Canadian airline headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.
Created in 1988 by British airline Air 2000, initially for charter service, it underwent a corporate reorganization and change in ownership during the 1990s when it merged with charter carrier Royal Aviation or Royal Airlines of Montreal, Quebec. Following the merger of Canadian Airlines International with Air Canada, Canada 3000 positioned itself as a scheduled discount carrier for the domestic market, in addition to its ongoing charter service, and underwent a rapid expansion, garnering up to 30% of Canadian passenger traffic at its peak, flying to the United States, Europe, and Australia.
In November 2001 the company suddenly collapsed with no warning for travellers or employees. The company filed for bankruptcy, citing a downturn in air travel during the weeks following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.
In 2002, the former owner of Royal Airlines and director with Canada 3000 went on to form another scheduled discount airline, Jetsgo, which lasted almost three years before it too collapsed and filed for backruptcy protection on March 11, 2005.
