The Airspeed Ambassador was pivotal in flying many IT Package Holiday charter flights to Europe and the Med Sunspots.
UK and foreign charter airlines used them for IT's such as Overseas Aviation, Dan Air, BKS, Autair and Globe Air with seating for 48-55 seats.
Ambassadors replaced the older Vickers Vikings and DC-3's, and they provided a far more comfortable and, on longer routes, a speedier trip, for example, shaving more than an hour off the London to Rimini or Perpignan service.
