The original callsign was "Acey" for the airline's ATC identifier ASE. Then it was changed to "Candler" because yes, some guard unit in NM had a similar callsign, and someone claimed they were confused. Then that guard unit disbanded, and it was changed back to "Acey", but the ATC identifier was ASQ.

ASA’s “Acey” and “Candler”call signs had nothing to do with Atlanta based Coca Cola owner Asa Candler? If not, that’s one heck of a coincidence!
