British Midland Airways

British Midland Airways

British Midland Airways existed under different identities for more than 70 years, during which time it grew from a flying training school into a scheduled transatlantic airline. With the prime routes dominated by British Airways (BA) and its predecessors, it had to diversify, and one product of this was its ‘instant-airline’ concept, which saw its Boeing 707 aircraft flying in the liveries of many African and Middle Eastern companies. Lufthansa acquired a major financial stake in 2009, but even that company could not find a way to stem losses, and, in 2011, the carrier was absorbed into BA.

With more than 140 images, this book charts the rise and fall of British Midland Airways.
