How it started
History
Initially known as Lignes Aériennes Farman, was created on February 8, 1919, when a Farman F.60 Goliath flew from Toussus-le-Noble to Kenley, near Croydon. The airline was created by the Farman brothers, who also owned the Farman Aviation Works.
It began a weekly service between Paris and Brussels on 22 March 1919, the world's first international commercial aviation service.
In 1933, all SGTA assets were incorporated in the newly created Air France, and the company ceased to exist.
