A - Z UK Airlines

UK Airlines Database

Welcome to my personal UK Airlines Database, a reference resource dedicated to documenting both current and former airlines that have operated from the United Kingdom.

The database includes scheduled, charter, cargo, regional, business aviation and air taxi operators, ranging from major international airlines to small independent carriers. Each entry aims to provide accurate information on Air Operator's Certificates (AOCs), airline codes and callsigns, operating dates, fleet details, bases, ownership and brief historical background.

A particular focus of this website is the preservation of records relating to defunct UK airlines, many of which have disappeared from public memory despite making significant contributions to British aviation. Alongside these historical records, the site also maintains a directory of current UK AOC holders as recognised by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

The database is being continually updated as new information becomes available. Contributions and corrections are always welcome.
