ABSTRACT Britain first exerted considerable civil and military aerial authority in Africa in the 1920s and 1930s. The occasional but striking presence of British pioneer pilots and aircraft was soon followed by formal agreements about Empire airbases, and operation of imperial airline service. During the Second World War, all British aviation resources in Africa were tailored to mobilising and executing military action. At the end of the War, Britain’s nationalised airline resumed scheduled commercial services to and from Africa. In the post-War Commonwealth there was demand for air services at lower prices than Britain’s flag-carrying airline offered. Private charter airlines provided long-haul but low-cost ‘trooping’ flights, ‘colonial coach’ passenger flights, and ‘tramp’ cargo flights, and consolidated and extended British aerial presence and influence in Africa. Mostly, London set and managed the regulatory regime under which they operated. Coloniality provided a key licensing element. In the 1950s, before widespread decolonisation, the authority for the least expensive long-haul flying across Africa vested in layers of complex regulation in Britain.

1947-1960 年在非洲扩大的英国航空管理局：对低成本海外航空公司的监管

摘要 英国在 1920 年代和 1930 年代首次在非洲行使了相当大的民用和军用空中权力。英国先驱飞行员和飞机偶尔但引人注目的出现很快就签订了关于帝国空军基地和帝国航空服务运营的正式协议。第二次世界大战期间，英国在非洲的所有航空资源都专门用于动员和执行军事行动。战争结束时，英国的国有航空公司恢复了往返非洲的定期商业服务。战后的英联邦对航空服务的需求低于英国的挂旗航空公司提供的价格。私人包机航空公司提供长途但低成本的“编队”航班、“殖民教练”客运航班和“流浪”货运航班，并巩固和扩大了英国在非洲的空中存在和影响。大多数情况下，伦敦制定和管理其运营所依据的监管制度。殖民提供了一个关键的许可要素。在 1950 年代，在广泛的非殖民化之前，最便宜的长途飞行穿越非洲的权力归属于英国的多层复杂监管。
