The sole Potez 662, presumably at Méaulte where it was built. It was the only new airliner at the 1938 Paris Air Show, although derived from the Potez 661. It still had a twelve-passenger capacity but each of the four engines was three times as powerful! Cruise speed thus leapt from 300 km/h to 400 km/h. Range given as 1000 km. Under the Vichy government, the aircraft was used by General Charles Huntziger, who had signed the armistice on 22 June 1940. Returning to Vichy from Algiers it crashed on 12 November 1941 on the south slope of the Mont Aigoual. All seven people on board, including Huntziger, were killed.
