Birmingham European Airways was originally established in 1983 (as Birmingham Executive Airways). The airline as its name implies was based at Birmingham International Airport (BHX/EGBB) in the UK and operated services geared towards business travellers. The fleet initially included Jetstream 31 aircraft. A Saab 340 was later introduced which suffered severe reliability problems in the airline's service, and which was replaced by a Gulfstream I . Birmingham European Airways later introduced a number of BAC 1-11 aircraft into its fleet.

The airline's route network included points such as Amsterdam, Milan, Oslo, Stuttgart, Newcastle, Belfast and Cork.

In October 1992, Birmingham European merged with Brymon Airways to form Brymon European Airways.

In January 2006 there was news of a new "Birmingham European Airways" being established, once again using Jetstream aircraft to serve European destinations from Birmingham and with the stated aim of starting operations during 2006.
