The first autoland in commercial service?

Airbus Safety First Magazine July 2011, page 26, in an article on autolands by Capt. Christian Norden states:

“On January 9, 1969, the first ever fully-automatic landing of a commercial aircraft with passengers- a French domestic service on a Caravelle III – was conducted in Paris-Orly.”

So it wasn’t the Trident then?
