Ansair was an Australian bus bodybuilder owned by Ansett Transport Industries and later the Clifford Corporation.
In 1987, a plant opened in Kingston, Tasmania, to make bodies for Scania buses used by Metro Tasmania and, in January 1993, a plant opened at East-West Airlines' former Tamworth Airport maintenance facility to make bodies for Scanias used by Sydney Buses.
[2][3] In August 1995, Ansett Transport Industries sold Ansair to the Clifford Corporation.
[5][6] Ansair ceased trading in November 1998 when the Clifford Corporation collapsed.
