Canada's Regional 1 Airlines of Calgary rebranded as Aspire Airlines in the early summer of 2021 when it was only flying Dash 8-100, C-GWRI. This aircraft was delivered new to Germany in April 1988 (as D-BERT) and flew with Contact Air, DLT and Lufthansa CityLine. In Apr 1994 it joined the fleet of Era Alaska (as N882EA), and was later imported to Canada in Dec 2013 by Avmax (a leasing company) in Calgary, and flown by its Regional 1 subsidiary. Regional 1 used to fly lots of crew change flights to northern Alberta (until oil prices collapsed) and charters from YVR to salmon fishing resorts. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
