History

Air France was founded in 1933 from the merger of several French airlines. It played a significant role in post-war aviation development and became a global leader in air travel. The airline was one of the original operators of the supersonic Concorde from 1976 to 2003. In 2004, Air France merged with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to form the Air France-KLM Group while maintaining its separate brand. Over the years, it has expanded its network to serve destinations worldwide and remains a key player in international aviation.
