The airline operated mostly , Lancastrians and Tudors , and flew to Bermuda , the West Indies and the western coast of South America . BSAA was planning to introduce De Havilland Comet jet airliners, but in 1949 it was merged back into BOAC. During its short existence BSAA seems to have suffered more than its fair share of mysterious accidents. The loss without trace of the Tudors '' Star Tiger '' and '' Star Ariel '' are often quoted to validate the existence of a mystery zone in the Bermuda Triangle , and the loss of the Lancastrian ''Star Dust'' in the Andes after sending a partly unreadable radio message has been named the Stendec Incident . Though the discovery in 2000 of the wreckage of ''Star Dust'' appears to indicate a perfectly mundane accident, issues raised by the Bermuda Civil Aviation Board in the Tudor losses make a similar explanation less likely {Link without Title} .
