Our History
The Ansett name originates from Sir Reginald Ansett, the founder of the Australian Airline “Ansett Airways” based in Melbourne Australia.
Sir Reginald Ansett commenced a small airline operation in 1936 and following the end of the Second World War grew the airline to be one of the two large domestic airlines operating in Australia. In the 1990’s the airline operated internationally to Asian destinations and was renowned for its safety record and quality of service.
