Laker Airways (Bahamas) was an airline founded in 1992,[1] which operated until 2005.

History

Laker Airways (Bahamas) was a US-registered airline based in the Bahamas to which Sir Freddie Laker lent his name and operational expertise. The airline was established in 1992 with financial assistance from Oscar Wyatt, a Texas oilman and business partner of Sir Freddie Laker.[1] The initial fleet comprised two Boeing 727-200 Advanced narrow-bodied jet aircraft.[1] Laker Airways (Bahamas) stopped operating in 2005 when the firm was wound up.[2]

In 1996 Sir Freddie Laker and his business partner Oscar Wyatt established Laker Airways, Inc as a sister airline to Laker Airways (Bahamas) to follow in the original, UK-based Laker Airways's footsteps.[3] Laker Airways Mark II leased two McDonnell Douglas DC-10 widebodied jets to operate low-fare, high quality transatlantic scheduled services, which commenced on 5 July 1996 between Fort Lauderdale in Florida and London Gatwick at a frequency of two return flights per week.[3][4][5] Additional scheduled services subsequently linked Orlando with Manchester and Glasgow Prestwick.[4] Laker Airways, Inc ceased operations in 1998.[6]
