My guess about the other BAe 146 operator into BUR would be Aspen Airways.
Curious to know if the Sunworld timetable listed the equipment operated by the carrier into Burbank.....

And as for Aspen Airways operating BAe 146 service into BUR (possibly as United Express with nonstop flights to Aspen), I can find no evidence of this....and I've been diligently looking. I do believe that AP operated the BAe 146 into LAX and LGB as UA Express.....and I also know the airline operated Convair 580 service nonstop between Lake Tahoe and BUR as an independent carrier.

So the BAe 146 operators previously serving Burbank I have been able to identify are: PSA, USAir (using aircraft formerly operated by PSA) and Royal West. Anyone know of any other BAe 146 operators that served BUR?

BTW, I have found another airline that operated mainline jet equipment into Burbank which means we are now back up to seven (7) carriers that remain to be identified.
