Chartered Success |

Cup Final Day in May 1962 saw a
milestone more important than Tottenham Hotspur beating
Burnley, although it certainly received a lot less
publicity.
For while the 22 players were running onto the Wembley
pitch, a Lockheed Constellation, proudly bearing the
livery of the Luton based Euravia airline, was rapidly
approaching Palma Airport, with passengers looking
forward to a holiday in the sparkling sunshine of
Majorca.
It was the inaugural flight of the airline, which was
later renamed Britannia Airways, and which was to become
the world’s leading holiday airline.
Over those 40 years the airline has seen a wealth of
change, development, expansion and, from time to time,
setbacks.
A Chartered Success sets about recording those four
decades through the memories of airline employees,
retirees and those closely involved with Britannia as it
grew to become number one in the world.
Their stories provide drama, insight, plenty of humour,
and a look at the expertise and knowledge required in
every department of the airline, to make sure that for
passengers the holiday really does start once they
arrive at the airport. |
