History
Air France was formed on October 7, 1933 from a merger of Air Orient, Compagnie Générale Aéropostale, Société Générale de Transport Aérien (SGTA) - the first commercial airline company in France founded as Lignes Aériennes Farman in 1919 - Air Union and Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne (CIDNA). The constituent members had already built extensive networks across Europe, to French colonies in North Africa and farther afield.
During World War II, Air France moved to Casablanca, Morocco.
On June 26, 1945, all French air transport companies were nationalised. On December 29, 1945 a decree of the French government granted Air France the management of the entire French air transport network.
Air France appointed its first flight attendants in 1946. The same year the airline opened its first air terminal at Les Invalides in central Paris. It was linked to Paris Le Bourget Airport, Air France's first operations and engineering base, by coach. At that time the network covered 160,000 km, claimed to be the longest in the world.Air France (Airline, France)
