Instone Air Line was an early British airline from 1919 to 1924. Along with other private airlines of the time, it was absorbed into Imperial Airways.

This airline is not to be confused with the Instone Air Line of Stansted, which operated from 1981 to about 1996 with Bristol Freighter and Douglas DC-6.^[1]^[2]
