History

The airline's roots can be traced to the "Companie générale aéropostale" in 1927 that pioneered mail delivery between Europe, Africa and South America with famous pilots like Jean Mermoz and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The company was dissolved in 1932 and was then merged with others to form Air France.

The company was a subsidiary of Air France from 1947 to 1991, operating as Société d'Exploitation Aéropostale (SEA). It took on the name Europe Airpost in 2000 when it started services on its own for the French national postal service (La Poste). On March 14, 2008, ASL Aviation Holdings DAC officially acquired the airline.^[6] The aircraft kept the former livery and call sign. The company had 400 employees as of March 2007.^[7]

On 4 June 2015, ASL Aviation Holdings DAC, the parent company of Europe Airpost, announced that Europe Airpost would be rebranded as ASL Airlines France.^[8]
