About 100th Anniversary of Estonian Civil Aviation

Aeronaut, the first Estonian airline, was founded on 22 March 1921. The first plane of the company was a rented Sablatnig P-III, which operated postal flights to Finland.

In 1922, Aeronaut also built a reinforced concrete hangar at Lasnamäe Airport.
