Prior to 2000, Shell Aircraft Limited operated corporate jets for Shell group headquarters, and Shell Oil and Shell Canada operated their aircraft independently. In 2000 the three operations were linked in Shell Aircraft International, whose first CEO was Brian Humphries.

On 4 October 2013 the operation of Shell Canada was closed down and all operations were contracted out to Flair Airlines Ltd.[2]

The ICAO telephony designator (Callsign) changed from SHELL to PECTEN in the Edition 201 of the ICAO DOC 8585 Edition 201, published July 2022, however the three-letter designator remained SHE.[3]
