ABOUT
Details the rise and fall of Air Europe, a major independent British airline founded in 1979 that operated Boeing 737s and other aircraft before ceasing operations in 1991.

Air Europe was the thrusting, dynamic airline; its formation grabbed the other United Kingdom's charter airlines by the collective scruff of their necks and shook hard, forcing them to match Air Europe's standard of service - a standard that had never been seen before in the holiday sector.

The airline went on to achieve a number of 'firsts'. It was the first airline to start off with brand new equipment; it was the first charter airline to provide quality service; the first new airline to be immediately profitable; the first airline to take advantage of airline competition policy in Europe; and the first airline to bring down business class fares within Europe.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and illustrations and tables.
