Leisure International Airways

Leisure International Airways was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Air UK Leisure, especially to manage and operate the two Boeing 767-300ERs which are leased by Unijet from ILFC. "We decided to adopt a separate identity for the 767 operation so as to differentiate between that and Air UK Leisure's European area charter activity with its Boeing 737 fleet", said Jeremy Dixon, managing director. Leisure began 767 transatlantic services with two 326-passenger long range-300ER versions on 1st May 1993. During the first six months of operation, Leisure set an industry record for Boeing 767 utilisation. The figure of 17.7 hours per day, compares with an industry average of 10.3 hours according to 767 maker Boeing. In the words of Chris Parker, chairman of both Unijet and Leisure, "the 767 provides excellent passenger comfort and has a range capability unequalled in this category of aircraft."
