Abstract
Britannia celebrated its 21 st anniversary in 1983. From the beginning in 1962 with three Constellations, Britannia's 1985 fleet is four Boeing 767s and 25 Boeing 737 aircraft. Britannia is now the largest independent airline in Europe in terms of passengers carried and passenger miles flown. Our present route structure, within a radius of 2500 nautical miles of London, is between some 20 UK airfields and over 70 overseas destinations. The range of the B 737 fleet extends to 1900 n.m. with full reserves and a full payload of 130 passengers. The range of our present B 767 fleet, under similar conditions, extends to 2800 n.m. with a full payload of 273 passengers. This payload—range capability is so limited by our decision to operate these aircraft for the time being with a reduced maximum gross weight. Both fleets are operated by 2-man flight deck crews.
