One of the largest airline companies in the Balkan prior to the Second World War was the Rumanian airline
company LARES.
It was run by the State and started in 1930. In 1937 it absorbed the private airline company SARTA (owned by the
French
companies Potez and Gnome & Rhne) and was headed by Andrei Popovici.
