BIA (British Island Airways) (ii)

BIAs’ first revenue flight was from Gatwick to Catania in Italy on 02Apr1982. The deep recession in the UK during the early 1990s, as well as the escalating jet fuel price and the collapse of the package tour market in the run-up to the first Gulf War during the summer of 1990 resulted in a reduction in its passenger traffic (compared with the same period the year before) and were the main factors that forced the reconstituted BIA to cease all operations on 09Feb1991
