History
KLM launched the brand name "KLM UK" in 1998, when KLM acquired majority ownership of AirUK, a commuter airline founded in 1980. Air UK began to be traded as KLM UK in January 1998. The legal name changed from Air UK Limited to KLM UK Limited.
In 2000, KLM UK launched Buzz, a low-cost subsidiary which operated a fleet of BAe 146 and Boeing 737-300 aircraft.[citation needed] Buzz was sold to Ryanair in 2003, at which point the remainder of KLM UK operations were merged into KLM Cityhopper.[citation needed]
