Air Anglia

Air Anglia was a British regional airline serving eastern England and selected destinations in the United Kingdom and Europe. Based in Norwich, it operated scheduled services with turboprop aircraft, serving regional and business travelers. Around 1980, Air Anglia merged with other British regional airline businesses to form Air UK, after which the Air Anglia brand ceased to operate independently. Publicly available information about its founding background, complete route network, and operating scale is limited, so those details are not expanded here.

Air Anglia was one of the regional airlines that emerged during the development of localized air services in the United Kingdom. Based in Norwich, it focused on scheduled short-haul passenger operations connected with eastern England, the wider United Kingdom, and selected European destinations. Its operating model reflected that of independent regional carriers of the period, using smaller turboprop aircraft for business and regional travelers. Around 1980, Air Anglia merged with Air Wales, Air Westward, and other related airline operations to create Air UK. Following the merger, Air Anglia no longer operated as an independent brand. Public sources provide insufficient detail to establish a fully documented founding date, founder, fleet size, or complete route list.
