London City Airways

[Jolly Roger]

London City Airways was a British airline which was founded in 1986 by British Midland to operate from London City Airport.
Orders were placed for three de Havilland Canada Dash 7’s and they took up the recently released British Airways unused Concorde registrations G-BOAW, AX and AY.

The airline was closed in 1990 following sustained financial losses. The aircraft were transferred to the parent British Midland Airways.

G-BOAW was at some point fitted with a Flux Capacitor which enabled it to travel back to the future.

Just found out about the tail design which is very interesting.

Set up as an airline serving London City where the main passenger would be the “businessman”. Tail design chosen was a pinstripe suit with handkerchief in the top pocket and a red tie blowing in the wind. I doubt it would be done this way nowadays.
