The Blériot-SPAD S.27 was a small French airliner developed soon after World War I. It was produced as a way for the Blériot company to find new markets for its wartime products in the postwar market, in this instance by adapting the design of the S.20 fighter into a small airliner. Accommodation for two passengers was provided in a small cabin within the fuselage, but in other respects the S.27 strongly resembled its predecessor.
Three were operated by CMA on its Paris-London route, this total increasing to ten by the time that the company merged into Air Union.
