Estuvo asociada siempre de alguna manera a British Airways (y antes a BEA) hasta que en 1995 pasó a ser una franquicia de BA y más tarde fue adquirida por Easyjet.
Hubo planes para crear una compañía de bajo coste con sede en Gibraltar, Fly Gibraltar, pero la aerolínea nunca llegó a volar.
GB Airways (formerly Gibraltar Airways), whilst headquartered at Gatwick, was focused chiefly on the routes from Gibraltar to London and Tanger (this being the shortest intercontinental flight, IIRC !) The airline also flew to other destinations in Spain and to random destinations through the Mediterranean.
GB airways has had some kind of link with British Airways through its history, and with BEA before of that, but it became a proper BA franchise operator only in 1995. The airline was later bought by Easyjet.
There were proposed plans to start a low cost carrier at Gibraltar, Fly Gibraltar, but the airline never took of.
