On 31 march 1924, Britain's four pioneer airlines-Instone Air Line, Handley Page Transport, Daimler Airways and British Air Marine Navigation Ltd. that had started up in the immediate post war period -merged to form Imperial Airways, which developed its Empire routes to Australia and Africa.[7] Meanwhile a number of smaller UK air transport companies had started flights. These merged in 1935 to form the original privately owned British Airways Ltd.(not the same company) Following a government review, Imperial Airways and British Airways were nationalised in 1939 to form the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC). Post-war, BOAC continued to operate long-haul services, other than routes to South America - these were flown by British South American Airways, which was merged back into BOAC in 1949. Continental European and domestic flights were flown by a new nationalised airline, British European Airways (BEA), which compulsorily took over the routes of existing UK independent airlines. These airlines all merged together to make British Airways.
