Great Britain Aircraft Transport and Travel started regular flights to Paris in 1919. Also in 1919 Handley Page Transport established regular services to Brussels and Paris. A third airline, Instone Air line, started operations later that year. A T & T ran into financial trouble and Daimler Airway purchased their assets in 1920. In 1924 four major airlines in England merged to form Imperial Airways. They included British Marine Air Navigation, Daimler Airway, Handley Page Transport, and Instone Air Line. Finally Imperial merged into British Overseas Airway Corp, BOAC, in 1939. I've concentrated on the early days through the age of Imperial Airways.
