[AIR CHARTER was Freddie Laker’s first entry into owning an airline. Bovingdon and Croydon based airline that was used on Berlin Airlift. Initially a car ferry service. Freddie Laker also founded Aviation Traders (maker of the Carvair) and this company purchased SURREY FLYING SERVICES and then FAIRFLIGHT . These were useful to air charters because of the routes and aircraft that were used. Absorbed DRAGON AIRWAYS in 1957 and MANX AIRLINES in 1958 and then merged with CHANNEL AIR BRIDGE and SILVER CITY AIRWAYS to form BUAF. Eventually became BAF (BRITISH AIR FERRIES) and eventually BRITISH WORLD AIRLINES which ceased operating in late 2001]
