Indian National Airways Ltd
Indian National Airways Ltd was an airline based in Delhi, India.〔Page 15〕 The founder of the airline was R. E. Grant Govan, a Delhi based British industrialist who also co-founded the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the Cricket Club of India.〔Page 105〕〔Page 458〕〔Page 22〕 The airline was formed on the basis of a government airmail contract.〔Page 7-9〕
The company was started by Govan Bros Ltd. in May 1933 with a capital of Rs. 3 million.〔Page 845〕 It became the second airline to start operations in India in December 1933, with a weekly passenger and freight service between Calcutta and Rangoon as well as between Calcutta and Dhaka.〔Page 93-96〕 It also started a weekly service between Karachi and Lahore, a feeder service for Imperial Airways.〔 The company then had a fleet made up of light single engined aircraft.〔Page 92〕 By 1937 the airline had clocked over a million miles and made a slender annual profit.〔Page 796〕
The airline was awarded another government contract in 1938 under the ''Empire Air Mail Scheme'' for carrying first class mail on the Karachi - Lahore and Karachi - Colombo routes for a period of ten years along with Tata Airlines. This was a major boost for aviation in India. As this contract promised a minimum income along with an operating subsidy, the company was able to expand and renovate its fleet.〔〔Page 106〕 During World War II, all mail contracts were suspended and aircraft put under government disposal. Only spare capacity was allowed for commercial use, which affected the industry on the whole.〔
It was one of the four major airlines in India at the time of Indian Independence in 1947.〔Page 472〕 As of 1947, the airline had a fleet of six Vickers Viking with another nine De Havilland Dove on order.〔Page 32〕 The company also bought some war-surplus Douglas DC-3 aircraft from the United States of America at the end of the war.〔Page 275〕 In 1953 Indian National Airways was nationalised and merged into Indian Airlines.〔
