The beginning of Air France started with creation of the Compagnie Generale in 1909, the very first French commercial airline company.  In 1933, Air France put together five main Franch air transporters and just in few years became a major airline.  The new airline was officially declared open on 7 October 1933 at La Bourget, the country’s main airport. In 1939 had Air France third largest network in the world with 85 destinations.  On 26 June 1945 Air France became state owned. The new era arrived with jet planes, especially with Boeing 707, the plane was able to travel from Paris to New York in eight hours with 180 passengers. In 1974, 23km to the north of Paris at Roissy-en-France was Charles de Gaulle airport officially open. The legendary Concorde joined the fleet in 1974. In this time Air France began adapting to the new status – mass transport. New kinds of customers, who were focused on leisure travel.
