Flying high : 1946-1958

Boosted by the expanding air transport industry, the airline experienced a spectacular boom. With a renewed fleet, it increased its network's density and expanded into Africa, Asia and the Americas.VideoSOARING | Air FranceAIR FRANCE REBORNNationalized on 26 June 1945, the airline began operating under the Air France name once more on 1 January 1946. The former private company Air France became state-owned. Everything had to be re-built. Its directors made decisions of crucial importance. They restructured the network, giving…THE FIRST AIR HOSTESSESAir France had made the decision to increase the number of women in its flight crews, a practice that had developed in the United States from 1930. The first hostesses had to be between 21 and 30 years old, have a 'pleasant face', have character and dignity – as well as being single (a rule that…AIR TRANSPORT TAKES OFFIn just three years, Air France reclaimed its place among international airlines. The competition was getting tougher. In France alone, there were 24 private airlines (including the UAT – Union Aéromaritime de Transport – and TAI - Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux). Air transport had undergone…THE MAX HYMANS ERAIn 1948, Max Hymans, secretary-general of civil aviation and a specialist in aeronautical issues, was appointed head of Air France. He would have a great impact on the airline's history. Gifted with excellent business sense, he forged a number of alliances and strengthened the airline's long-haul…THE GOLDEN AGEHis strategy proved sound. Luxury Air France services became increasingly prized by the airline's international clientele. One such service was the "Parisian special" to New York, the very essence of French refinement: private cabins, chef-cooked meals, a Champagne reception... Air France became an…TURNING A CORNERIn 1956, at the end of a tremendous decade, Air France was ranked in 6th place among global airlines in terms of passenger traffic, just behind the major American airlines. Air France was one of the first european airlines to order large numbers of jets, including 10 Boeing 707s and 12 Caravelles…

The jet age : 1959-1969

Caravelle, Boeing 707… Jets revolutionized air travel. These more powerful aircraft were able to transport more passengers quicker and further. Air France's traffic doubled in ten years.VideoTHE JET AGE |Air FranceA REVOLUTIONThe arrival of jet planes revolutionized the world of air travel. A Boeing 707 was able to travel from Paris to New York in eight hours with 180 passengers – twice as many as a propeller-driven Super Constellation, which took over 14 hours for the same journey. Soon afterwards, the Caravelle could…AIR INTER TAKES OFFAir France had influence over the entire world, but only operated domestic routes as connecting flights for international customers, for example, to Nice. As a result, the French government encouraged the creation of a domestic airline, Air Inter, in 1954, which only really began operations at the…UTA, THE INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGERIn 1963, the French government decided to redistribute international traffic rights. It gave the private airline UTA (Union des Transporteurs Aériens) – formed by a merger between UAT and TAI – a section of services to Africa as well as the Pacific. With decolonization fully under way, Air France…DEMOCRATISATION IN ACTIONAir travel was no longer a luxury reserved for a privileged few. In 1961, a return from Paris to New York cost three times less than in 1956. Although it retained a top-of-the-range image, perfectly embodied by its hostesses, whose uniforms were now designed by Dior, Air France increased access to…THE POST-WAR BOOMBehind the scenes, Air France was undergoing an unprecedented change. The arrival of jets had turned the old way of operating on its head. Runways, boarding lounges, hangars and workshops now worked on a bigger scale. Orly's South terminal was opened in 1961. With its innovative architecture, Orly…ALL SYSTEMS GOAt the end of the 1960s, traffic rose spectacularly – over 5.5 million passengers travelled with Air France in 1969, twice as many as in 1959. The fleet was now exclusively made up of jets, significantly improving the airline's productivity. Air France's finances were also excellent. An optimistic…

The airline aimed to 'make the sky the best place on earth'.VideoRENEWAL | Air FranceTHE MERGERFirst begun in the United States, deregulation gained ground in Europe. The process was known as 'open skies', and from 1987 to 1997, European skies were opened to competition. Made vulnerable by the Gulf War (1991), the major players suffered. Air France focused on increasing traffic; its fleet…RECOVERYA recovery plan, the 'Corporate Plan', was backed by employees in 1994. Air France took off once more. The airline cut its costs and renewed its operating strategy. The network was reorganized around the Paris-Charles de Gaulle 2 hub, opened in 1996. At this 'nerve centre'-style hub, arrivals and…MAKING THE SKY THE BEST PLACE ON EARTHThe renewal could also be seen in Air France's commercial approach: the airline aimed to provide a consistent level of quality of service, from making a reservation to leaving the airport. It reorganized its classes and reinvested to move upmarket. Passengers in 'l'Espace 180' were able to enjoy…PROFITABLE GROWTHThe results were in. Back in the black since 1997, the airline opened up its capital two years later, and 72% of employees became shareholders in the company.
