AirSprint Inc. has been named to the 2025 Canada’s Best Managed Companies award list.

It is the sixth consecutive year the fractional operator achieved status on the list.

The list features privately-owned Canadian companies with $50 million or more in revenue.

Recipients are evaluated on their leadership in strategy, culture, commitment, capabilities, innovation, governance, and financial performance.

Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of judges with representation from program sponsors and special guests.

The list is published by the Globe & Mail.

President & CEO James Elian says, “Earning the 2025 Best Managed Companies recognition is a proud milestone as we celebrate 25 years of service.”

He continues, “Since 2000, we’ve reimagined private aviation—setting new benchmarks for safety, reliability, and personalized service.”

Elian adds, “Today, AirSprint leads the Canadian private aviation industry, operating approximately 30% of all Canadian private jet flights. We’re honored to have spent a quarter-century establishing the standard for excellence and excited for what lies ahead.”

Last year, AirSprint logged 38,000 flight hours visiting 648 unique airports.

List Co-Leader and Deloitte Private Partner Lorrie King adds, “Over the past year, companies such as AirSprint have continually adapted and successfully responded to challenges, seized new opportunities, and leveraged industry-leading competencies to maximize their investments and drive sustainable growth.”

She says, “These winners have set the standard of excellence for Canada’s business ecosystem by demonstrating a strong commitment to strategic transformation, talent and workforce development, and technological and business adaptability.”
