  • Union des Transports Aériens (UTA) was the largest wholly privately owned, independent airline in France. It was also the second-largest international, as well as the second principal intercontinental, French airline and a full member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) since its inception. UTA was formed in 1963 as a result of a merger between Union Aéromaritime de Transport (UAT) and Compagnie de Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux (TAI). The airline was a subsidiary of Chargeurs Réunis, the French shipping line founded and controlled by the Fabre family. During the post-World War II era Francis Cyprien Fabre was the President of Chargeurs Réunis. Francis Fabre was also the founder of the original pre-war Aéromaritime and UTA's chairman from 1969 until 1981. Chargeurs Réunis held a 62.5% stake in UTA. UTA's corporate headquarters was located in central Paris. The company's main operating and engineering base was originally located at Paris Le Bourget Airport. In 1974 the firm moved its main operating base to the then new Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) near the northern Paris suburb of Roissy-en-France. In 1966 UTA established a subsidiary company named Compagnie Aéromaritime d'Affrètement to give it a foothold in the rapidly growing passenger and cargo charter markets. UTA's charter subsidiary traded as Aéromaritime. Aéromaritime operated Airbus Industrie's Super Guppies from 1971 until 1989 to airlift early-model Airbus airliner sections from Airbus's and third-party supplier plants in Britain, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain to the consortium's main plant in Toulouse, where final assembly took place. UTA also had two sister companies. These were UT Hotels (UTH) and UTA Industrial Centre, respectively. The former owned and operated 17 hotels at the destinations served by UTA's worldwide scheduled network. The latter was the airline's maintenance arm. UTA Industrial Centre was located at its sister airline's original Paris Le Bourget base, where it remained when the airline shifted its operating base to Charles de Gaulle Airport. UTA was an indirect shareholder in Air Afrique, the former multinational airline for francophone West Africa, as well through its shareholding in Société pour le Développement du Transport Aérien en Afrique (SODETRAF). (UTA held a 75% stake in SODETRAF while Air France owned the remaining 25%. ) UTA furthermore held a significant minority stake in Air Inter, the leading French domestic airline as well as the largest scheduled domestic carrier in Europe at the time. UTA moreover provided technical assistance to Air Ceylon, Sri Lanka's erstwhile national carrier when that country was still known as Ceylon. UTA was absorbed into Air France between 1990 and 1992.
