#ThrowbackThursday with Air France

Air France’s presence in Canada dates back to October 2, 1950, when the airline’s Lockheed Constellation 749, registration number F-BAZS, touched down at Dorval for the first time, after stopovers in Shannon and Gander. The first outbound Air France Montréal-Paris flight left for Orly on October 5 with 40 passengers, thus cementing the airline’s regular flight service between the two countries.
