In late 1990, the airline announced a move from Cleveland's Burke Lakefront to the much larger Cleveland Hopkins International Airport,[2] but later rescinded its decision and returned to Burke.[3][4] The conflicting announcements and schedule changes lead to confusion. The confusion,[5] combined with a weak regional economy, may have hastened the end of the airline.

Northcoast Executive was headed by CEO Calvin Humphrey. The airline filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation on January 29, 1991.[6]
