 Europe Airpost is an airline based in Paris, France. It operates mail and cargo flights for the postal service and newspapers dispatch during the night and scheduled and charter services for other airlines and tour operators by day thanks to its fleet of Boeing 737-300QC ("Quick Change") that can be switched between cargo and passengers configuration in less than an hour[1]. Its main base in Europe is Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport[1] and in Africa Ibn Batouta International Airport.
[edit] HistoryThe 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. It was originally part of Air France from 1947 to 1991 when it operated as Société d'Exploitation Aéropostale (SEA). It took on the current name in 2000 when it started services on its own for the French national postal service (La Poste). On March 14, 2008 Air Contractors of Ireland officially acquired the airline. The aircraft keep the former livery and call sign. It had 400 employees as of March 2007[1]. In May 2009 Europe Airpost opened a new main base in Tangier. [edit] FleetThe Europe Airpost fleet consists of the following aircraft (at June 2008) :
In March 2006, the average age of the Europe Airpost fleet was 15 years. [edit] Previously operated
