Remembering Dan Air May, 2024 Dan Air, a subsidiary of the Davies And Newman shipping, was formed in 1953, in actuality taking over operations of the small airline Meredith Air Transport. Charter operations began at Southend, but by 1960, moved to Gatwick. Expanding its charter flights and initiating scheduled services.   Growth in services resulted in a  Comet 4 fleet by 1966, later adding 707s 727s  BAC 111s and in 1983 launching the BAE-146 into commercial service.   The airline set up a base at Berlin's Tegel airport in 1969, and growth and innovation expanded at an amazing pace. However, as much of its space, including scheduled services was sold to consolidators  and travel agencies yields were simply insufficient to support the vast operations. The airline was ultimately sold (essentially given to) British.  There is a splendid well illustrated history of Dan Air, on simpleflying.com, titled What Happened to Dan Air.
