Category:Independant Air Transport
Independent Air Transport came into being in 1954 when a group of airline pilots purchased the London based travel agents, Independent Air Travel. The company operated charter flights across Europe with a fleet of Douglas C-47 Skytrain and Douglas C-54 Skymaster. However,an accident on the 02-Sep 1958, when a Vickers Viking crashed at Southall after take off from Heathrow, killing the crew, led to allegations of improper practices in both maintenance and operations. This, in turn led to the departure of the company’s chairman and managing director, Captain Marian Kozubski. The reorganized airline then changed it’s name to Blue-Air, probably in order to distance itself from the adverse publicity surrounding the Southall crash. Charter operations continued throughout the summer of 1959 but by Sep 1959, work was declining , and on 12 Oct 1959, the last revenue earning service took place. Within a few days the company had ceased to exist, its aircraft being sold very quickly.
