Zulu Air YXX?

Was driving by CYXX the other day and looked like some guys were putting up a new sign over the old Island Express office.. Zulu Air or something like that? Anyone know what that’s about?

New business. They offer flight training, aircraft rentals. https://www.zuluaviation.ca/
Island Express Air has been dissolved afaik

They used to be Canwest flying club that offered block time

Thanks! I was wondering if it was going to be some sort of Island Express/ Orca re-boot...

They're way worse than Island Express and Orca combined. Check out the linked post below and see what one of their customers have said about them. I've heard other people having similarly bad experiences with the state their aircraft are in despite saying they are all good to fly.

Sorry for bringing this up but I would personally avoid Zulu. They seem to be changing their name and base like every 6 months, which is super sketch. Myself and another friend bought some block time with them and they seemed cool at the beginning, but I just got a weird vibe around them. I could feel that they don't really know what they are doing, and it was clearly a very disorganized business. I personally talked with one of the managers and they seemed nice at first, but then they started berating me around for silly and uncalled things, and failing to admit their business shortcoming and messiness with me and other customers. I flew their planes a few times and decided to leave. I couldn't get a refund because block time was apparently 'non-refundable' (super sketch). I couldn't care less. I'm now part of another flight club, and although is not as affordable as Zulu, the people are nice, friendly and they actually care about aviation.

I can't talk about the maintenance side of things but their hangar was full (I mean FULL) of airplane and airplane parts, tools; again, super disorganized.
