09/07/2003. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "Long-range airliner, prototype F-WAVA (later F-BAVA) first flown January 12, 1949, with large capacity, seven crew and 84 passengers. In high-density configuration there was even place for up to 160 passengers. A production of fifteen was planned for Air France, after the first flights the airline refused to accept any aircraft, due to its uneconomical performance.
Of the eight produced aircraft, four were used by TAI (Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux), but within eight months after introduction on December 8, 1952, they were withdrawn from use. Later seven S.E.2010s were used by SAGETA (Société Auxiliaire de Gérance et d'Exploitation de Transport Aériens), an airline resurrected purely for transport for the French forces to the French fronts in Indo-China. One was used as a flying turbine-prop test-bench as S.O.2060."
