Ansair

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.

[7] The Tamworth plant was reopened by Jakab Industries to complete an order of Volvo B10BLEs for Sydney Buses, under the Phoenix Bus brand.
