History

1948: We were founded as Yorkshire Airlines, offering flights between London and the cities of Leeds, Manchester and York using Douglas DC-3 aircraft.

1958: We introduced de Havilland Comet 4 jet aircraft to our fleet, allowing us to offer flights to destinations further away such as Paris, Amsterdam, and Madrid.

1968: We made our first international flights using Boeing 737s and 767s to destinations such as New York and Tokyo, profit is immediate and money is put in to developing the services provided in the terminal to arrival. These services include lounges, chauffeurs, booking, and in flight entertainment.

1996: We benefited from the deregulation of the British aviation industry, which enabled us to increase our number of international destinations to include Madrid, Dubai, and Barcelona. We also expanded our fleet size and offered more services such as charter flights and cargo services.

2023: We celebrated our 75th anniversary by becoming a subsidiary of Hishan Air Lines out of ViZion, gaining access to their network of destinations and resources. This is a new milestone and allows our company to once again gain international prestige and recognition.

Moving forwards we intend to expand services and provide 5 star service for all passengers and loyal customers.
