TI/---/---.

Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux – TAI was a private French airline, based at Orly Airport, Paris. In 1963, it was merged with Union Aéromaritime de Transport on 1 October 1963 to form UTA-Union de Transports Aériens. The company was created in 1946 with routes from Paris to Africa, Middle east and Far East. By 1957 the routes continued beyond Saigon to Darwin, Brisbane, Noumea, and Auckland. As the airport for Tahiti began construction, T.A.I. began to fly to Bora Bora on the Society Islands in French Polynesia in 1958. Until the Tahiti airport opened in 1960 the island was served by TAI Short Solent flying boats. In the late 1950s the airline flew SNCASE SE.2010 Armagnac, Douglas DC-4 and Douglas DC-6 having a light green livery with white cabin top and fin. They bought their first Douglas DC-8 jet airliners during 1960. The company extended its service to Jakarta in Indonesia. The livery changed to an attractive yellow, green, and black striped tail with "T.A.I." on it, and a green stripe down the fuselage.
