Description
Colours in the Sky: The History of Autair and Court Line Aviation
The story of Court Line is inextricably linked to that of its founder, William 'Bill' Armstrong, who also founded Autair. This global helicopter operation spawned numerous aviation ventures, including a multitude of airlines and operations in Africa.
Autair's history is closely tied to the development of the Inclusive Tour business, which relied on the introduction, demonstration, and use of the Lockheed TriStar wide-bodied airliner. The company's innovative approach to value-for-money holidays, known as 'vertical integration', allowed it to make a small profit at every stage.
