British United Air Ferries (BUAF) was a wholly private, British independent[nb 1] car and passenger ferry airline based in the United Kingdom during the 1960s. It specialised in cross-Channel ferry flights carrying cars and their owners between its numerous bases in Southern England, the Channel Islands and Continental Europe. All-passenger and all-cargo flights were operated as well. Following several identity and ownership changes, it went out of business in 2001.
In its final years, as British World Airlines, its head office was at Viscount House, London Southend Airport.[1]
