The unknown and interesting history of the air transport company that existed from 1927 to 1948. Founded in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Aeroput also operated in the first years of socialist Yugoslavia.
The Yugoslav Air Transport Company Aeroput is a typical offshoot of the general development of aviation between the two world wars, both in the domain of the idea, people and aircraft that made it up, and in the domain of the domestic and foreign policy of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Aeroput formally existed for two decades, but was active in flight for a total of 14 flight seasons. During that time, Aeroput established air traffic in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, connecting its regional centers with the capital, but also connecting Belgrade with important centers of neighboring countries.
Aeroput was created as an expression of the high topicality of aviation, but also the need to accelerate communications and acquire new values, i.e. profits. Aeroput was founded by a circle of enthusiastic aviation enthusiasts, many of whom were veterans of the First World War and fought in the air with war adversaries. Aeroput was supported by representatives of the state, the army, big business, bankers, and Freemasonry, mainly from the Yugoslav capital and several regional centers. The public at the time followed the development of aviation both in the world and in Yugoslavia, but it was only the long-distance flight of pilots Sondermayer and Bajdak from Paris to Bombay and back to Belgrade, as well as the opening of the Belgrade airport in 1927, that gave the necessary impetus to the subscription of shares and state support for the beginning of the Society's work.
