The Aero A.10 was a biplane airliner produced in Czechoslovakia shortly after World War I, the first example flying in 1919. Three passengers could be accommodated in an enclosed cabin, and three collapsible tables could also be used to seat another three if desired. The A.10 was important as one of CSA's first aircraft, with five examples in service with the airline from the time of its inception in 1923 until 1928.
