Hello,

I'm trying to find old information from the 90s/00s on historic flights I've taken. Such as flight numbers, aircraft types, aircraft registrations. Perhaps people have old holiday brochures? I 100% know the destinations but I'm less sure on whether I would have flown from CWL or BRS LGW or BHX.

Thanks in advance

I've managed to find some flight numbers and some dates for old routes. I'm wondering if someone would know the equipment used or the reg? Or if it's possible for me to source this information somehow? Historic information isn't very good for charter flights

BY140A LGW-MIR 30/05/1993
BY140B MIR-LGW 13/06/1993

I have a feeling the return went tech and that we flew back with Tunisair. We landed in LGW on the 14/06/1993

AMM777C BHX-PMI 29/05/1999
AMM777D PMI-BHX 12/06/1999

AIH627 CWL-GRO 09/04/1998
AIH628 GRO-CWL 16/04/1998

BY198A CWL-LPA 22/10/1996
BY198B LPA-CWL 29/10/1996

Any info is appreciated

Thank you

By 1992 some of the major holiday airlines had already gone from the UK market:
BIA, Air Europe, Novair International, and Dan Air.
Cardiff based Inter European Airways (IEA) was to merge at the end of 1993 with Airtours International (AIH).

Both Britannia Airways (BY) and Air 2000 (AMM/DP) were now the two main UK major charter airlines, along with Monarch Airlines (OM/MON), and Caledonian Airways 1988 (CKT) who were owned by BA until 1995.
In 1998 Air 2000 would buy Leisure International Airways (ULE) who were first known as Air UK Leisure (UKL)
British Midland Airways (BD) had a large summer charter series, and also flew several dedicated aircraft on the behalf of Air 2000 (with Air 2000 stickers or titles).

In the 1990's and early 2000's some small holiday charter airlines were formed:
Ambassador (AMY) Airworld (AWD) Air Leisure (ALT) Sabre Airways (SBE) Flying Colours Airlines (FCL) Air Scandic (SCY) Peach Air (KGC) TEA UK (TUK) Virgin Sun Airlines (V2) Sunjet Airlines (SUJ) Astraeus Airlines (AEU) and Flyjet (FJE)

In 1999 Thomas Cook Travel Group would take over Caledonian, Peach Air, Flying Colours and merged them all with their own Airworld in 2000 to become JMC Air (JMC)
In 2001 Sabre Airways became Excel Airways (XLA) and Virgin Sun was sold to Air 2000.
In 2002 Airtours International Airways became MyTravel Airways (MYT)
In 2003 Thomas Cook rebranded JMC Air as Thomas Cook Airlines (TCX)
In 2004 Air 2000 became First Choice Airways (FCA) and Britannia Airways was rebranded as Thomsonfly.
In 2008 First Choice Airways was fully merged with Thomsonfly to become Thomson Airways (TOM)
In 2008 MyTravel Airways was fully merged with Thomas Cook Airlines.

Soon thereafter would only be TOM, TCX and MON.

Now we are left with just TOM (Renamed as TUI Airways)

The schedule times of UK holiday (and all other) flights in 1985-2005 are to be found in an annual publication called "Airport Times", by Airtime Publishing, put together by a group of enthusiasts from the Midlands. Done it seems each Spring, so more up to date than brochures, but really shows the game plan for the summer rather than individual weekly variations. It seemed to get almost all the holiday charter series, and even showed the principal charterer. Secondhand ones periodically turn up through Internet dealers or from traders at airshows etc. There was even a competitor for some years called "Flight Routings", which didn't seem as accurate but could fill in odd gaps in the other. They died out when Internet information came along.

I never knew such a publication existed that's definitely something I want to keep an eye out for, thank you for this!
