Carry a piece of British aviation history into your daily routine with this Laker Airways tough phone case. Founded in 1966, the airline grew from charter flying into a low-fare transatlantic pioneer, launching Skytrain between Gatwick and New York in 1977. Its story reflects a bold effort to make long-distance travel more accessible and challenge established airline practices. For collectors and enthusiasts, Laker Airways brings together memorable airline identity, Gatwick heritage and the ambition of Sir Freddie Laker.
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.
