South West Aviation

South West Aviation was a British airline formed in 1966 to undertake air charter work from a base at Exeter Airport, Devon, England.

[1] After it was formed the company operated air taxi and charter work with a twin-engined Piper Aztec and Beechcraft Travel Air.

The charters were flown around the British Isles, Channel Islands and into Northern France.

[2] Also in 1968 the company bought a Short Skyvan which enabled it to operate out of small grass airfield in South West England for charters and parachute drooping, although the aircraft was also used to operate a scheduled service between Heathrow and Plymouth.

[2] The airline also operated summer time scheduled services between Exeter, Cherbourg and Southampton and on behalf of Dan-Air a service between Bristol and the Isle of Mann.
