Air Europe was a wholly privately owned, independent British airline, established in 1978 under the working title Inter European Airways
It adopted the Air Europe name the following year.
Its main operational base was at London Gatwick Airport, where it commenced commercial airline operations in May 1979 with three brand-new Boeing 737-200 "Advanced" jet aircraft
Air Europe was the main supplier of charter seats to Intasun Leisure, which grew during the 1980s to become the UK's second-largest package tour operator (after long-established market leader Thomson Holidays). Air Europe aggressively expanded during the 1980s to become one of the UK's leading charter airlines with a major scheduled presence on a number of short-haul European trunk routes out of Gatwick. Towards the end of the 1980s Air Europe became the first airline to acquire a pan-European presence by setting up several subsidiaries on the Continent. Air Europe also acquired two small regional airlines, forming the nucleus of a new Air Europe Express regional airline subsidiary. The acquired slots at Gatwick enabled it to increase frequencies as well as launch new scheduled routes. By the end of the decade Air Europe had become Gatwick's largest resident airline operator.
Air Europe's stellar success came to an end when growing financial problems at its parent company began to undermine the financial performance of the airline and its sister companies from late 1989 onwards.
ILG and all its UK-based subsidiaries - including Air Europe - went bankrupt on March 8, 1991

Return policy
As I am Selling a collection I check to see if there are any faults or imperfections , which are listed in the description of the item.
Items which are wrongly described may be returned within One week. As the items I sell are aimed at collectors, the stickers I sell will generally have lost their adhesive qualities over the years , the older they are the more likely this is so. I will not accept returns of this kind.
I do not accept items back which have been bought by mistake as constant handling and posting eventually decreases the value of the items.
Most Buy It Now purchases are protected by the Distance Selling Regulations, which allow you to cancel the purchase within seven working days after the day you receive the item. Find out more about your rights as a buyerand exceptions.
