Starlink Aviation is a Canadian charter airline and a fixed-base operator. It is based at the Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Dorval.
History
Starlink Aviation was founded as a Fixed-Base Operator at the Montreal airport in 1982. The company acquired a fleet of jet and turboprop aircraft, and began leasing them as charter aircraft for private clients.
In 2003, the company also began a scheduled "corporate shuttle" service from Montreal with its BAe Jetstream 31 aircraft to the cities of Alma and Bagotville in Quebec, Canada. These services were later discontinued in 2009 and 2013 respectively. In April 2008, Starlink announced a partnership with the American fractional jet company Flight Options to form "Flight Options Canada," expanding the charter networks of both companies.[1]
In January 2009, service by Starlink Airlines between Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Portland, Maine was announced, with two flights daily, beginning February 4 of the same year.[2]. On December 1, 2009, service ceased due to depletion of the Air Service Fund.
