Trans European Aviation

Trans European Aviation was a British charter airline from 1960 to 1962.

History

The airline was formed in early 1960 to operate charters from London Gatwick Airport with two de Havilland Dragon Rapide aircraft. Later in 1960 the company took over Air Condor which operated one Bristol Freighter. In 1961 the airline decided to enter the inclusive-tour market when it tried to acquire a Lockheed Constellation from Cubana. The deal fell through but in May 1961 it took delivery of the first of three Constellations. The airline operated charters and inclusive tour flights from London to Mediterranean resorts, it also operated inclusive tour flight from West Berlin. In August 1962 the airline ceased operating.
