Air France was formed on 7 October 1933, from a merger ofAir Orient,Air Union,Compagnie Générale Aéropostale,Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne(CIDNA) andSociété Générale des Transports Aériens(SGTA). Of these airlines, SGTA was the first commercial airline company in France, having been founded as Lignes Aériennes Farman in 1919. The constituent members of Air France had already built extensive networks across Europe, toFrench coloniesin North Africa and farther afield. During World War II, Air France moved its operations toCasablanca(Morocco).

In 1936, Air France added French-built twin enginePotez 62aircraft to its fleet featuring a two compartment cabin that could accommodate 14 to 16 passengers. A high wing monoplane, it had a wooden fuselage with composite coating while the wings were fabric covered with a metal leading edge. Equipped with Hispano-Suiza V-engines, they were used on routes in Europe, South America and the Far East. Although cruising at only 175 miles per hour, the Potez 62 was a robust and reliable workhorse for Air France and remained in service until theSecond World Warwith one used by theFree French Air Force.[7]By 1948 Air France operated 130 aircraft, one of the largest fleets in the world.[10]Between 1947 and 1965 the airline operatedLockheed Constellationson passenger and cargo services worldwide.[11]In 1946 and 1948, respectively, the French government authorised the creation of two private airlines:Transports Aériens Internationaux– laterTransports Aériens Intercontinentaux– (TAI) and SATI. In 1949 the latter became part ofUnion Aéromaritime de Transport(UAT), a private French international airline.[10][12]

Compagnie Nationale Air France was created byact of parliamenton 16 June 1948. Initially, the government held 70%. In subsequent years theFrench state\'s direct and indirect shareholdings reached almost 100%. In mid-2002 the state held 54%.[10][13]

On 4 August 1948Max Hymanswas appointed president. During his 13-yeartenurehe would implement modernisation practices centred on the introduction ofjet aircraft. In 1949 the company became a co-founder ofSociété Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques (SITA), an airline telecommunications services company.


On 26 June 1945 all of France\'sair transportcompanies werenationalised.[8]On 29 December 1945, a decree of theFrench Governmentgranted Air France the management of the entire French air transport network.[9]Air France appointed its firstflight attendantsin 1946. The same year the airline opened its first air terminal atLes Invalidesin central Paris. It was linked toParis Le Bourget Airport, Air France\'s first operations and engineering base, by coach. At that time the network covered 160,000km, claimed to be the longest in the world.[10]Société Nationale Air France was set up on 1 January 1946.


European schedules were initially operated by a fleet ofDouglas DC-3aircraft. On 1 July 1946, Air France started direct flights between Paris and New York via refuelling stops atShannonandGander.Douglas DC-4piston-engineairlinerscovered the route in just under 20 hours.[10]In September 1947 Air France\'s network stretched east from New York, Fort de France and Buenos Aires to Shanghai.
