My, oh, my - where to start?

I've promised more than one collector that BEA would be the last airline to debut in AirTimes.

For those collectors interested in a general sampling of an airline's timetable publications, it is certainly an oversight to omit such an important carrier.

For AirTimes, which aspires to be a general reference for the timetable collector by placing various editions in their relative context, BEA, along with BOAC, SAS and others, is a daunting proposition.

So, here begins the AirTimes BEA page - warts and all.  This initial presentation includes "system" timetables and other principal publications. Over time, regional and local timetables series will be added.

For more information on BEA and their timetable publications, be sure to review the excellent pages developed by Björn Larsson in Timetable Images.

Additional information or comments on the AirTimes organization and classification of BEA timetables are always welcome!
