The episode, entitled “Not Cleared for Takeoff” was filmed back in February 2017, and Jon decided to not to rebrand the bar with a new name. The Airliner is owned by Luis Quiroz, an entrepreneur who is said to have lost his passion for the business.
For Sale
Interestingly enough, it doesn’t appear that Jon was able to reignite Luis’ passion for the bar business. The Airliner has been up for sale for the past six months, with an asking price of $450,000. According to the listing details, the “Owner would like to now focus on a different business.”
