Perpetuating the memory and the works of the pioneers of aeronautics,
Latécoère Airlines and Aéropostale
“I have gone over all the calculations again,
they confirm the opinion of the experts:
Our project is unachievable.
The only thing we can do now is:
Achieve it!”
​
Pierre-Georges Latécoère
(1883-1943)
Pierre-Georges Latécoère is the creator of airmail and of the intercontinental airlines linking France to Africa and South America, which became l'Aéropostale and then Air France.
​
Initiator of the Toulouse aeronautics industry, Pierre-Georges Latécoère has produced 80 types of planes and seaplanes, winning 32 world records.
​
The Latécoère Foundation aims to maintain and promote the memory of aeronautics and its pioneers. By passing on the values of Pierre-Georges Latécoère, it also works to inspire new generations to take up the challenges of the future, including the transition to low-carbon aviation.
