Description:

Compagnie General Transaerienne was one of the earliest air transport companies in the world. It was founded in March 1909 as a branch of the Astra Company, the biggest major dirigible manufacturer in pre-war France. In the early days, Transaerienne made hundreds of passenger flights in airships and seaplanes but did not operate regularly scheduled service until 1919 when it opened a postal route between Paris and London.
