British European Airways (commonly known as BEA) was a British airline which existed from 1946 until 1974. BEA operated to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East from airports around the United Kingdom. The airline was also the largest UK domestic operator, serving major British cities, including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast, as well as areas of the British Isles such as the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. BEA ceased to exist as a separate legal entity in 1974 when it merged with BOAC to form British Airways. However the name was revived by British Airways from 1991 to 2008 when it changed the name of an existing subsidiary.
