Enterprise Airlines

Enterprise Airlines started in 1994 and now trades as Enterprise Aviation Group. It is based at 1190 Keith Ross Drive, at Oshawa Executive Airport (CYOO), east of Toronto. Founder Brian Burchartz is also the company's chief pilot. The company describes itself as 100% employee owned.

The business began by flying urgent air cargo for the automotive industry. It now offers executive charter, aircraft management, a fixed base operation at CYOO and aircraft maintenance. Its LinkedIn page describes the FBO as Avfuel-branded. The company also says it handles maintenance for the aircraft it operates, under Canadian Aviation Regulations.

For charter, the company presents its own aircraft rather than arranging flights with outside operators. Its charter page names a Basler BT-67 (a turbine-converted DC-3) and a de Havilland Twin Otter. An independent pilot-careers profile also lists a Dassault Falcon 10 jet and a Beech King Air C90. Turboprops like these can reach short or unpaved strips, which suits remote and expedition flying better than typical business-jet trips.

The company says it has flown charter clients across North America and overseas, and it highlights trips as far as Antarctica and the South Pole. Flights are offered 24 hours a day, including at short notice.

Flyers comparing options should confirm which aircraft are available now and ask for the operator's Transport Canada air operator certificate details. No third-party safety audit ratings such as ARGUS, Wyvern or IS-BAO were found in this research.
