(First comment)[edit]

SCADTA was the first commercial airline of the American continent and the second in the world —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.182.56.52 (talk) 16:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious[edit]

About that: The introduction also claims SCADTA was the world's second airline, and the first airline in the Americas. That doesn’t square with our Category:Airlines established in 1919, which lists nearly a dozen other companies founded that year, most of them before December. The category also includes Chalk’s Flying Service, which was offering flights from Miami to the Bahamas (ie. international, and in the Americas) ten months prior to this. Thoughts?

Seems like they mean it's the second oldest continuously running airline, or in other words it is the oldest airline after KLM Royal Dutch Airlines still running now (as Avianca after merging with SACO) Edy4gaona (talk) 16:20, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name?[edit]

This is unclear. The company was the 'Colombian-German Air Transport Company'; so, were they offering a transatlantic service from Germany and Columbia? In 1919? Or does it mean they were a German company operating in Columbia, so felt they had to have the word German in the title? Anyone know? Moonraker12 (talk) 18:59, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The latter, and its existence was terminated due to that very German involvement, which covered financing, equipment and flight crews. - NiD.29 (talk) 20:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
