Encyclopedia : A : AI : AIR : AirUK
AirUK was an airline formed from the merger of British Island Airways, Air Anglia, Air Wales and Air Westward in 1980. It operated flights mainly from London Stansted Airport and other regional airports to destinations in Northern Europe.
During the 1990s KLM acquired AirUK and renamed it KLM UK in the April 1999. In 2000 some of the KLMuk point-to-point routes were transferred to launch the sub-brand Buzz, which was a low cost carrier.
From 04/01/2000 the KLMuk brand operated Amsterdam feeder routes from various UK regional airports using ATR 72, Fokker 50 and Fokker 100 aircraft. In November 2002 all the UK-Amsterdam routes and Fokker aircraft were transferred to sister KLM subsidairy KLM Cityhopper.
All Buzz flights from 04/01/2000 to 31/03/2003 were operated by KLMuk under its Air Operators Certificate (AOC) until the Buzz operation was taken over by Ryanair in 2003.
