Ex D-ABUA, VR-HTC was bought by Transcorp in October 1985. Australian airline group Ansett bought a controlling interest in Transcorp the following month. Initially the airline operated charter services and it was not until May 1987 that scheduled services commenced. The airline ceased operations in October 1988 and -HTC was moved to the Australian register as VH-HTC, with Ansett as its owner.
