Air UK was a wholly privately owned, independent〔independent from government-owned corporations〕 regional British airline formed in 1980 as a result of a merger involving four rival UK-based regional airlines.〔(''World Airline Directory'', Flight International, 26 July 1980, p. 280 )〕〔(''World Airline Directory'', Flight International, 26 July 1980, p. 272 )〕〔(''World Airline Directory'', Flight International, 26 July 1980, p. 295 )〕 British and Commonwealth (B&C)-owned British Island Airways (BIA) and Air Anglia were the two dominant merger partners.〔(''Air UK is Air Anglia and BIA successor'', Air Transport, Flight International, 27 October 1979, p. 1343 )〕 The merged entity's corporate headquarters were originally located at Redhill, Surrey, the location of the old BIA head office.〔 It subsequently relocated to Crawley, West Sussex.〔(''World Airline Directory'', Flight International, 30 March 1985, p. 49 )〕 In addition to the main maintenance base at Norwich Airport (Air Anglia's former engineering base), there also used to be a second major maintenance base at Blackpool Airport (the old BIA engineering base).〔 This was closed down following Air UK's major retrenchment during Britain's severe recession of the early 1980s. In 1987, Air UK established Air UK Leisure as a charter subsidiary. The following year, Air UK shifted its headquarters to London Stansted Airport.〔(''World Airline Directory'', Flight International, 1 April 1989, p. 55 )〕 When Stansted's new Norman Foster-designed terminal opened in 1991, the airline became its first and subsequently main tenant.
Air UK was a full member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for most of its existence.
Air UK originally was a wholly owned subsidiary of British Air Transport (Holdings), a successor to the Air Holdings Group owned 90% by B&C and 10% by Eagle Star Insurance. This made the Cayzer family, who owned B&C, the controlling shareholders.〔〔〔(''World Airline Directory'', Flight International, 30 March 1985, p. 59 )〕〔''Aircraft (Gone but not forgotten ... AIR UK)'', Vol 43, No 1, p. 25, Ian Allan Publishing, Hersham, January 2010〕 Following the beginning of the gradual liberalisation of the European Union (EU) internal air transport market in 1987, Dutch flag carrier KLM, a long-standing business partner of Air UK and its predecessor Air Anglia, acquired a 14.9% minority stake in Air UK's holding company.〔〔''Aircraft (Gone but not forgotten ... AIR UK)'', Vol 43, No 1, p. 27, Ian Allan Publishing, Hersham, January 2010〕 In 1995, KLM increased its minority stake in Air UK to 45%. In 1997, KLM became Air UK's sole shareholder〔(''Europe & the CIS World Airline Directory'', Flight International, 26 March - 1 April 1997, p. 48 )〕 when it acquired B&C's stake in British Air Transport (Holdings).〔(''Case No. IV/M.967 — KLM/Air UK'', Merger Procedure Decision, Commission of the European Communities, Brussels, 22 September 1997 )〕 The following year Air UK was renamed KLM uk.
