  • Jersey Airlines was an early post-World War II private, independent British airline formed in 1948. In 1952 the airline operated its first scheduled service. Four years later, British European Airways (BEA) took a 25% minority stake in Jersey Airlines and made it an "associate". In June 1958 a Jersey Airlines de Havilland Heron became the first commercial airliner to arrive at the newly reconstructed Gatwick Airport. In 1960 Jersey Airlines ordered four state-of-the-art Handley Page Dart Herald 200 series turboprops. By 1962, BEA had sold its 25% minority holding in Jersey Airlines. The same year Jersey Airlines became part of the British United Airways (BUA) group of companies. In August 1963 Jersey Airlines changed its trading name to British United (C.I. ) Airways. Following the BUA group's 1967/8 reorganisation, BUA (C.I. ) was absorbed into British United Island Airways (BUIA) in November 1968.
