HISTORY: CUNARD EAGLE AIRWAYS was the first British independent airline to operate pure jet airliners. In March 1960, the Cunard Steamship Company bought a 60% shareholding of Eagle Airways, for £30 million, resulting in a change of name to Cunard Eagle Airways. Having raised his holding to 60% in February 1963, on 9 August, the airline's official name changed to British Eagle International Airlines Ltd.
