A.B. Aerotransport (ABA) was Sweden's first airline company. It was founded in 1924 and was one of three Swedish aviation companies which eventually merged to form SAS. Beckman was one of Sweden's foremost graphic designers. A.B. Aerotransport was one of his larger accounts for which he produced numerous posters. In addition to his poster work, he also designed pavilions for international exhibitions and events, including the New York World's Fair in 1939. In 1939, he founded the Anders Beckman School to train up-and-coming Swedish youth in fashion and advertising design. SAS p. 16.
