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.
