132-522: A rate of two planes per year. It was intended that the newly ordered A340s would replace the airline's ageing DC-10s as well as facilitate its future expansion into new long-haul markets from the early 1990s onwards. In 1989, UTA also ordered Boeing's twin-engined 767 widebody on behalf of Aéromaritime. That order had a value of US$ 250mn. It was for three - 300ER aircraft.

264-509: A year from the end of 1988 until October 1989 and resulted in the grounding of both Aéromaritime and UTA during that period.

528-417: The unions representing the majority of pilots at Aéromaritime as well as at UTA itself. The dispute was about the introduction of new, lower pay scales at Aéromaritime to prepare it for the competition it was likely to face at the hands of Europe's new breed of much lower cost , aggressively expanding independent airlines, as exemplified by UK -based Air Europe at that time.

These were progressively repainted in UTA's new livery , a combination of UAT's blue and TAI's green colour schemes. The inherited 118,000 mi (190,000 km) network spanned five continents. Most of these were intercontinental, long-haul routes connecting France with West and Southern Africa . On 1 November 1963 UTA introduced DC-8 jets on its flights from Paris to Lagos , Accra , Monrovia and Freetown . UTA's creation coincided with

660-557: The event of a merger. The French government feared that Air France's smaller size relative to British Airways , Lufthansa and the US giants as well as its fragmented long-haul network put it at a commercial disadvantage in a liberalised air transport market. Air France, Air Inter and UTA were therefore encouraged to co-operate rather than compete with each other. On 12 January 1990 UTA, along with Air Inter and Air France itself, became part of an enlarged Air France group, which in turn became

693-468: The first time. Paris — San Francisco became the first route UTA served in competition with Air France non-stop from Paris.

792-725: The primary French flag carrier at the time. This made it an almost exclusively long-haul, intercontinental scheduled airline. It also made its scheduled route network complementary to Air France and Air Inter. (UTA and Air France used to co-ordinate their schedules at Los Angeles to enable passengers to connect between Air France's transatlantic and UTA's transpacific services.) In 1986 the French government unexpectedly decided to relax its policy of neatly dividing traffic rights for scheduled air services between Air France, Air Inter and UTA, without any route overlaps between them. The regulatory framework governing France's air transport sector at

891-514: The time dated from 1963. It had prevented the country's three main scheduled airlines from operating outside their respective spheres of influence and competing with each other.

It therefore enabled UTA to launch scheduled services to new destinations within Air France's sphere of influence, in competition with that airline, for
