Celebrate Orion Airways on commutes, road trips, and everyday outings with this 40oz insulated travel mug stainless tumbler. Launched by Horizon Travel in 1978, Orion began operations in 1980 and built a fleet that included Boeing 737-200s, 737-300s, and Airbus A300s. The airline grew from serving its owner’s holiday business to flying charter work and scheduled services from Castle Donington and Birmingham. Its last flight was in January 1989, leaving a compact, memorable chapter for aviation collectors to explore.
Orion Airways Ltd., usually known as Orion, was a United Kingdom airline established by Horizon Travel in late 1978 to support its package-holiday business amid a shortage of charter capacity. It began flying on 28 March 1980 with three Boeing 737-200s. The fleet grew to 11 of that type by summer 1984, and from 1985 the airline began replacing them with Boeing 737-300s. It also operated Airbus A300s. From 1984, Orion took on charter work for other tour operators. In 1986 it received permission to operate scheduled holiday services from airports in Castle Donington and Birmingham, starting on 4 September. The Horizon group, including Orion, was bought by the brewing and hotels group Bass in 1987. Thomson Travel Group acquired the group in 1988, and Orion was integrated into Britannia Airways in 1989. Orion’s last flight took place on 26 January 1989; its scheduled licenses transferred to Britannia without interruption. At the end of the 1990 summer season, Britannia withdrew from scheduled services in favor of charter flying. Orion’s former management had formed TEA UK with Belgium’s Trans European Airways; unable to base operations at Orion’s former airport, it chose nearby Birmingham.
