The Transadriatic Air Navigation Company (also simply known as Transadriatica) was founded in Ancona in August 1925 -- the headquarters transferred to Venice the following year, on the initiative of Junkers GmbH. It was among the first Italian airlines for the transport of passengers.
Operations began in 1926 with the connection between Rome and Venice and a connection with small single-engine Junkers F13 for four passengers between Venice- Klagenfurt - Vienna in collaboration with the Austrian ÖLAG . The regular service was inaugurated on 1 February 1927 and on the following 19 April it was extended, three times a week, up to Vienna, with Junkers G 24ge trimotors. An intermediate stop was sometimes made at Foligno. Another route between Brindisi and Munich was introduced in 1928 and1931 the service from Rome to Munich was established in cooperation with DLH (Deutsche Luft Hansa) .
In December 1931 Transadriatica merged with the Mediterranean Air Company (SAM).
