Dan-Air was a leading private, independent airline based in the United Kingdom. Dan-Air started in 1953 with a single aircraft. Initially, it operated cargo and passenger charter flights from Southend (1953–1955) and Blackbushe airports (1955–1960). The move to a new base at London Gatwick Airport in 1960 was followed by expansion into inclusive tour charter flights and all-year round scheduled services. The collapse in 1968 of British Eagle, a rival independent, resulted in further growth of Dan-Air’s operations the following year. It operated its first transatlantic flight in 1969. Lack of vertical integration with a tour operator and an inefficient fleet mix made Dan-Air uncompetitive, resulting in increasing marginalisation and growing financial difficulties. Following unsuccessful attempts to merge Dan-Air with a competitor, the ailing airline was sold to British Airways in 1992.
