Centreline Air Services was founded by John Willis, Capt Mike Hogan, Richard Vipond and Andrew Vipond in 1978.^[1] The airline began air taxi services within the UK and Europe with a Cessna 310Q and Piper Navajo Chieftain in the same year.^[2] On May 31st 1980 the airline began services with the Embraer EMB-110 from Luton to Glasgow on a contract carrying the London Times newspaper.^[2] In 1982 the airline leased another EMB-110 and struck an agreement with Dan Air where Centreline would operate feeder services on behalf of Dan Air to Bristol and Glasgow, via Cardiff, and return. All of Centreline's aircraft were re-painted in Dan Air colours.^[3] Unfortunately Dan Air, faced with major reductions in income and routes terminated there contract with Centreline and in 1983 the airline ceased operations.
