History edit
Centreline Air Services was founded by John Willis, Capt Mike Hogan, Richard Vipond and Andrew Vipond, in 1978.[1] The airline began air taxi services within the UK and Europe with a Cessna 310Q and Piper Navajo Chieftain in the same year.[2] On 31 May 1980, the airline began services with the Embraer EMB-110 from Luton to Glasgow on a contract carrying the London Times newspaper.[2] In 1982, the airline leased another EMB-110, and struck an agreement with Dan-Air, in which Centreline would operate feeder services on behalf of Dan-Air to Bristol and Glasgow, via Cardiff, and return. All of Centreline's aircraft were re-painted in Dan-Air colours.[3] Unfortunately, Dan-Air, faced with major reductions in income and routes, terminated its contract with Centreline, and in 1983 Centreline Air Services ceased operations.
