	British European Airways (BEA) began as BEAC (British European Airways 
Corporation) on August 1, 1946 as the European division of the British state 
airline, BOAC.  BEA Airtours became British Airtours with the merger of it's parent 
company, BEA with the long-haul state sister airline BOAC.  British Airways (BA) 
was formed after the British government forced a merger between the two British 
state airlines (BOAC and BEAC) on  April 1, 1972.  British Airtours, a  subsidiary 
of British Airways arranged a tour round-the-world in 1974.
