Bring the story of Laker Airways along to work, study or your next trip. Founded by Sir Freddie Laker in 1966, the British airline began with charter flights from Gatwick before becoming known for its low-fare transatlantic ambitions. Skytrain launched between Gatwick and New York in 1977, challenging the way people thought about long-distance air travel. This laptop sleeve suits aviation enthusiasts, airline-history collectors and admirers of independent British travel pioneers.
Laker Airways Ltd. was a private British airline founded by Sir Freddie Laker in 1966. Registered on 8 February, it began operating from Gatwick Airport on 29 July with two Bristol Britannia aircraft, initially flying on behalf of Air France. The airline grew from charter services carrying passengers and cargo to holiday destinations into a long-haul low-fare pioneer. It introduced the widebody DC-10 in 1972 and launched Skytrain, its scheduled Gatwick–New York service, on 26 September 1977. Later routes included Los Angeles and Miami; the airline also operated from Berlin Tegel and briefly flew scheduled service between Manchester and Zürich. Laker pursued other international routes and a wider European low-fare network, but several proposals did not proceed. During the early 1980s recession, financial pressures and competition weakened the business. Laker Airways operated its last flight on 5 February 1982 and went bankrupt. Its history is associated with low-fare transatlantic travel, charter flying, Gatwick, and Sir Freddie Laker’s efforts to challenge established airline practices.
