History
Royal Airways was established in 1933 from the amalgamation of the Nortan European Air Service, Haxley Airways and Norchman Airways under Royal charter issued by His Majesty King George III. At first only operating flights along a route from St. Christopher's Aerodrome—London (Croydon)—Paris—Marseilles—Rome—Pisa—Brindisi—Athens, it has gradually broadened into a hub-and-spoke flight system operating out of Royal St. Christopher's Airport.

Governance
Royal Airways is governed by the terms of its Royal charter as issued in 1933 and amended in 1982. Absolute control of the air line is vested in the Court of Directours which is chaired by the Governour. The day-to-day operations of the air line is managed by the Managing Directour, currently Mr Stuart Hardram CKN.
