CIDNA ’33

The Arrow of The Orient

CIDNA

 

CIDNA or Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aerienne is one of the progenitors of Air France. CIDNA was originally called Compagnie Franco-Roumaine de Navigation Aerienne when it was formed in 1920.

 

The airline equivalent of Orient Express was achieved when the service from Paris was extended to Constantinople (modern day Istanbul) in October 1922.

 

The company name was changed to CIDNA in 1925. CIDNA then merged with three other airlines to form Air France in August ’33.

 

The flights below came from the Summer ’33 CIDNA timetable from www.timetableimages.com .

 

In ’33 CIDNA were operating the Fokker FVIIb/3m. f7_fr_v2.zip
