Société Aigle Azur Transports Aériens is an airline with its head office in Tremblay-en-France, France, near Paris. It operates domestic scheduled passenger services and international services to Algeria, Mali, Portugal, China, Senegal and France. 〔http://www.aigle-azur.com/nos-destinations〕 It also operates charter, cargo and wet lease services. Its main bases are Orly Airport, Paris. Aigle Azur is also accredited by IATA with the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) for its safety practices.〔(Aigle Azur IOSA Operators Profile )〕 ==History== In April 1946, Sylvain Floirat established the original Aigle Azur as one of the first wholly privately-owned, independent airlines in post-war France. Between 1946 and 1955, the airline operated a large fleet of Douglas DC-3s.〔Gradidge, 2006, p.183〕 During the early 1950s, Aigle Azur began operating long-haul scheduled routes linking metropolitan France with Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. France's Ministry of Public Works and Transport had transferred Air France's traffic rights for these routes to the country's newly created independent airlines, including Aigle Azur.〔(Air France History )〕 In 1970, the airline was re-constituted as a regional airline named Lucas Aviation.〔 The re-formed airline's corporate and operational headquarters was at Paris Pontoise Airport,〔(Timetable Images - Lucas Air Transport, Lucas Aigle Azur, Aigle Azur )〕 located in Boissy l'Aillerie.〔"Directory: World airlines." ''Flight International''. 16–22 March 2004. (53 ).〕 Lucas Aviation initially traded as Lucas Air Transport and operated regional scheduled services, including a year-round operation linking Deauville with London Gatwick.〔 The name subsequently changed once more to Lucas Aigle Azur.〔 In May 2001, Groupe GOFAST acquired Lucas Aigle Azur from its previous owners, and reinstated the original name, Aigle Azur. The new owner refocused the airline as a mainstream short- to medium-haul scheduled and charter carrier. Aigle Azur began replacing its Boeing 737s with Airbus A320 family aircraft. It has 450 employees as of May 2007.〔 A plane operated by Aigle Azur landed in Baghdad on 31-10-2010, becoming the first flight from a European airline to arrive in the city since the twenty-year-old international embargo began in 1990. On 23 October 2012, HNA Group announced that it completed its acquisition of a 48 percent stake in Aigle Azur in Paris, becoming its second largest shareholder, after Group GOFAST. In December 2012, Goldenflyer awarded the airline for "Best Cabin crew". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aigle Azur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
