History
Formed by a local tour operator Burstin Travel, the company started operations in 1990 using a quick change (passenger/freighter) variant of the BAe 146-200. It operated charter flights from Southend and Bournemouth Airport to holiday destinations in Europe. At night the aircraft operated freight flights between Cologne and Brussels.
Due to the economic situation the airline ceased operation in February 1991.
One of the fleet is shown landing and taxiing in episode 5 of series 6 of the TV series Howards' Way.
