Channel Air Bridge was a private British independent[nb 1] airline specialising in cross-Channel vehicle-cum-passenger ferry services. Freddie Laker started Channel Air Bridge as a sister airline of Air Charter on a provisional basis in 1954. Operations commenced in 1955. In 1958, Channel Air Bridge took over Air Charter's vehicle ferry services.[2][3][4] In 1959, both Channel Air Bridge and its sister airline Air Charter became part of the Airwork group.[3][4] In 1960, Airwork joined with Hunting-Clan to form British United Airways (BUA).[4] In 1962, BUA reorganised its vehicle ferry operations by merging Channel Air Bridge with Silver City Airways. This resulted in the creation of British United Air Ferries in 1963.[5]
