Canada 3000Canada 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 including a purchase of discount carrier CanJet. In November 2001 the company suddenly collapsed with no warning for travellers or employees.
