1919.

THE TRANSPORT OF PASSENGERS BEGAN IN 1919 The first international aviation route to pass through the territory of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats & Slovenes was established by the mixed Compagnie franco-roumaine, and the first Convention on international air traffic during peacetime was adopted on 13 th October 1919 at a conference in Paris. World powers defined absolute sovereignty over their airspace, but space was also provided for free peaceful flyovers of aircraft of signatory States and the use of public airports. States were able to define corridors which planes would fly along and issue special permits. One of the most important clauses of the Convention envisaged the establishment of the International Commission for Air Navigation, betterknown as the CINA (Commision Internationale de Navigation Aerienne), which was under the patronage of the League of Nations. The Convention was signed on behalf of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats & Slovenes by then Foreign Minister Dr Ante Trumbić, which placed us among the first ten signatory countries of this important international act, which had a great influence on the further development of air transport. All of that would lead us, eight years later, to the establishment of Aeroput, the country’s first airline

Prevoz putnika počeo je 1919. godine. Prvu međunarodnu vazdušnu liniju koja je prolazila preko teritorije Kraljevine SHS otvorilo je Mešovito društvo Franko-Rumen, a prva Konvencija za međunarodni vazdušni saobraćaj u vreme mira doneta je 13. oktobra 1919. na konferenciji u Parizu. Svetske sile definisale su apsolutni suverenitet nad svojim vazdušnim prostorom, ali je istovremeno predviđena sloboda mirnog prelaza vazduhoplova država potpisnica i korišćenje javnih aerodorma. Države su mogle da određuju koridore kojima će avioni leteti i da izdaju posebne dozvole. Jedna od značajnijih klauzula Konvencije predviđala je osnivanje Međunarodne komisije za vazdušnu plovidbu, poznatije kao CINA (Commision Internationale de Navigation Aérienne), koja je bila pod pokroviteljstvom Društva naroda. Konvenciju je u ime Kraljevine SHS potpisao ministar inostranih poslova dr Ante Trumbić, čime smo se svrstali među prvih deset potpisnica ovog značajnog međunarodnog akta koji je veoma uticao na dalji razvoj vazdušnog saobraćaja. Sve će nas to osam godina kasnije dovesti do osnivanja Aeroputa, prvog društva za vazdušni saobraćaj
