It's impossible to tell the story of Court Line without telling
that of Autair, founded by helicopter pioneer William 'Bill'
Armstrong. Autair itself was an offshoot of his global helicopter
operation, but Bill also had his finger in many aviation 'pies'
including a multitude of operations in Africa, where so many
aircraft and airlines were created, bought and sold with such
prolificacy that even he could not remember the names and how many
there were! There is also the background to Court Line's shipping
concerns and the Caribbean operations of the hotel chains and
regional airline Leeward Islands Air Transport which Court owned
for a while. Covered in detail is the introduction, demonstration
and use of the Lockheed TriStar wide-bodied airliner, the first of
the type used in the Inclusive Tour business. Court Line Aviation
and Tom Gullick's Clarksons Holidays brought to the forefront the
concept of value-for-money Inclusive Tour holidays following the
'vertical integration' business model whereby owning and
controlling each step of the holiday allowed the company to make a
small profit at every stage. The orange, pink, turquoise and yellow
jets brought flashes of colour to dreary British airports, and
quickly streamed a multi-coloured rainbow across European skies to
Mediterranean destinations and even further afield. Truly they did
indeed put Colours in the Sky!
