Air France international lines
“Air France rayonne le monde” which can be translated in:
“Air France lights up the world”.
After the war, Air France has taken a new dimension. In 1946, the Paris-New-York line was inaugurated and progressively regained its position among the world’s leading airlines. It operated a fleet of 130 aircraft and got off to a flying start over the next few years. The 1950s was the golden age of civil aviation. The Air France luxury services were famous as it particularly focused on its customers’ enjoyment, offering them Champagne and hot meals as early as September 1949.
