British Overseas Airways Corporation
British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) adalah maskapai penerbangan nasional Britania Raya yang dibentuk tahun 1940 melalui penggabungan Imperial Airways dan British Airways Ltd. Sesuai Undang-Undang Penerbangan Sipil 1946, British European Airways (BEA) dan British South American Airways (BSAA) milik negara dibentuk, dan nama lengkap British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) akhirnya digunakan dan diterima di seluruh perusahaan ini. BOAC mengambil alih BSAA tahun 1949, tetapi BEA mengoperasikan rute domestik Britania dan Eropa selama seperempat abad selanjutnya. Undang-Undang Parlemen 1971 mengusulkan penggabungan BOAC dan BEA yang difinalisasi tahun 1974 dan membentuk British Airways.[1] (1940)
