British Overseas Airways Corporation The British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) was the British state airline from 1939 until 1946 and the long-haul British state airline from 1946 to 1974. The company started life with a merger between Imperial Airways Ltd. and British Airways Ltd. Following a 1971 Act of Parliament , BOAC was merged in 1974 with British European Airways Corporation (BEA) to form British Airways .
