A Brief History of duo (VB)

A Pilot's Perspective

duo airways was not a new airline, it was just another brand and change of ownership for VB, formerly Birmingham Executive Airways/ Birmingham European Airways/ Brymon European/ Maersk Air Ltd and finally duo.

The company operated for nearly 17 years from BHX flying Gulfstream 1s, Jetstream 31/41s, a SAAB 340, a Shed, BAC 1-11s, Boeing 737-500s and finally CRJs.

The heyday was the BAC 1-11 and B737 operation as a BA franchise partner in the 1990s, but whatever the paintjob and whoever the owners were, the staff worked professionally and tirelessly trying to make it succeed and it provided a smooth takeoff to many pilot's careers.

VB RIP
