Air mail service started opening in

The first airmail service was opened on February 18, 1911, in France. The service was established by Henri Pequet, a French aviator, who flew a plane carrying mail from the town of Villers-sur-Orge to the town of Toussus-le-Noble, a distance of about 65 kilometers (40 miles). This marked the beginning of airmail services, which would eventually revolutionize the way mail was transported around the world.

However, the first regular airmail service was established in the United States on May 15, 1918, by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The service was launched between Washington, D.C. and New York City, with flights operated by the U.S. Army Air Service. The first airmail flight in the United States was flown by Lieutenant Edward Young, who carried a load of mail from Washington, D.C. to New York City.

The development of airmail services was a significant milestone in the history of transportation, as it enabled mail to be transported quickly and efficiently over long distances. Today, airmail services are an essential part of the global postal system, with millions of pieces of mail being transported by air every day.
