In 1993, the airline became a franchisee of British Airways, operating its [[Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander|Islanders]] in the British Airways livery. This would stand until July 2008, when it became the new franchisee of [[Flybe (1979β2020)|Flybe]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.loganair.co.uk/about/brief-history/|title=Brief History - Loganair|work=Loganair|access-date=20 August 2017|archive-date=20 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170820201924/https://www.loganair.co.uk/about/brief-history/}}</ref> |- | [[Maersk Air UK]] | No | Closed | Founded in May 1993 as part of the demerger of BEA. It flew out of Birmingham Airport to domestic and European destinations under a British Airways franchise agreement. By early 2003 the Maersk Group had given up on operating an airline in the UK and put Maersk Air UK up for sale. However, there were not interested buyers and the company was therefore sold in a [[management buyout]] in 2003, with the airline becoming [[Duo Airways]] before ceasing operations in May 2004, when an investor withdrew support at short notice. |- |}
