HISTORY: BRITISH EAGLE INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES formed in 1948 as Eagle Aviation Ltd. Having raised his holding to 60% in February 1963, on 9 August, the airline's official name changed to British Eagle International Airlines (the name Bamberg had given the new holding company on 1 March). British Eagle and its sister companies ceased trading at midnight on 6 November 1968 due to growing financial problems and went into voluntary liquidation two days later.
