Comment: This was moved to draft because of not having enough sources. The only improvement since then was adding more content which is also unsourced. CNMall41 (talk) 16:39, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Knight Air was a UK regional airline that began launching charters before scheduled services until shortly after the crash of Knight Air Flight 816.[1][2]
History
The airline began operating as Knightway Air Charters offering Charter services before adopting the name Knight Air and was created to fill a gap in the regional market after the collapse of Yorkshire European Airways. Mostly routes to the Isle of Man, Southampton and Aberdeen.[3]
In 1995 the airline announced that it would replace the EMB 110 fleet with the BAe 31 fleet leasing the aircraft from JSX Capital.[4]
It ceased operations in 1997 for unclear reasons.[3]
