Union des Transports Aeriennes (French) was a French international airline. It operated principally between France and former French colonial possessions in Africa and the Indian Ocean. The airline was purchased in 1990 by Air France.

Suggestion[edit]

This article seems like it could be improved. I think I will do it. I'm currently bogged down with another article but I'm anxious to move on to this one.

I was thinking of adding history, mentioning the KSSU group (formed to buy the DC-10), mentioned that it was an early 747-300 operator, as well as an operator of 747-200SUD (which is technically not a -300). One of the plane was a 747-200 that was in a fire and later rebuilt by Boeing into a 747-200SUD. Archtrain 19:18, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
