'''Air Imagua''' ({{wp|Italian language|Vespasian}}: ''Aerea Imagua'') is the {{wp|flag carrier}} and only airline of [[Imagua and the Assimas]]. Established in 1953 as the '''Imaguan Civilian Air Service''' ({{wp|Italian language|Vespasian}}: ''Servizio aereo civile imaguano'') due to the increasing demand of flights between [[Asteria Superior]] and [[Asteria Inferior]], it commenced operations in June 1956.
'''Imaguan Airways''' ({{wp|Italian language|Vespasian}}: ''Aviovie Imaguane'') was the former {{wp|flag carrier}} of [[Imagua and the Assimas]]. Established in 195?, (TBC).

After the end of the [[Solarian War]] in 1946, interest in aviation on [[Imagua and the Assimas]] took off, as during the war, airbases were established by both [[Etruria]] on the [[Assimas Islands]], and [[Estmere]] on [[Imagua (Island)|Imagua]]. Combined with the increasing demand for flights between [[Asteria Superior]] and [[Asteria Inferior]], it was decided in 1953 by [[Marguerite Ernman]] and her cabinet to establish a national airline.

Over the next few years, airplanes were purchased, mostly from (TBC), and a route network was planned, with a focus on having [[Peter Hansson International Airport|Cuanstad Airport]] serve as a hub, while the airport at [[San Pietro International Airport|San Pietro]] to serve as a secondary hub, and all routes would be organized on a {{wp|Spoke–hub distribution paradigm|hub and spoke system}}.

In its early years, the Imaguan Civilian Air Service was operated as a government agency under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport. During this time, the main focus of the ICAS was serving connecting flights in the Asterias region, with the ICAS primarily focused on using Cuanstad and San Pietro as the main hubs.

In the mid-1960s, with increasing demand of travel to and from [[Euclea]], it was decided to engage in trans-[[Vehemens Ocean|Vehemenic]] flights to connect Cuanstad and San Pietro with [[Montecara]], with the intention of using Montecara as a "stopover" for flights to and from both [[Estmere]] and [[Etruria]]. This, combined with increasing tourism to Imagua and the Assimas meant that by the early 1970s, the Imaguan Civil Air Service became one of the more important airlines in the Asterias.
In the mid-1960s, with increasing demand of travel to and from [[Euclea]], it was decided to engage in trans-[[Vehemens Ocean|Vehemenic]] flights to connect Cuanstad with [[Euclea]]: thus, secondary hubs were set up in TBD and TBD to


In 1971, Peter Hansson retired, and was succeeded by [[James Anworth]]. Under Anworth's tenure as managing director of the ICAS, he continued the airline's expansion outside of the Asterias and into Euclea. However, by the late 1970s, as a financial crisis started to affect [[Kylaris|the world]], the ICAS started to see declining profits.

===Privatisation===
In 1980, newly-elected [[Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas|Prime Minister]] [[Anthony Brockett]] tabled a budget for the 1981 fiscal year, which included transforming the Imaguan Civil Air Service from a government agency into a {{wp|state-owned enterprise}}, with the intention of privatising the corporation "within five years." Thus, on 1 April, 1981, {{wp|managing director}} [[James Anworth]] became the first {{wp|Chief executive officer}} of the company, with [[Peter Hansson]] brought out of retirement to serve as the first {{wp|Chairman (business)|Chairman}} of the ICAS.
*[[Agnes Ingram]] announces plan to outright privatise Imaguan Airways in 2000
 
*government sells all of its ownership by 2002
On 23 April, 1982, the ICAS was renamed to Air Imagua, as the government believed that the ICAS was "too old-fashioned." The following year, the government sold a third of its shares in Air Imagua to the private sector, with that share being purchased by (TBD).
*private owners try and compete with other airlines in region, fail
 
*Recession of 2005 strikes, airline goes under
While under the premiership of [[Edmondo Privitera]], the privatization plans were halted, with Air Imagua remaining a majority-state-owned enterprise. In the 1980s, Air Imagua started expanding flights to [[Coius]], with primary focus towards members of the [[Council of Estmerish Language States]], as they were felt to share a common market, combined with common levels of trade between the two members.
 
In 1992, after [[Isaac Egnell]] became Prime Minister, the airline was completely privatized by November 1992, when the government sold its two-thirds share to (TBD). In January 1993, Peter Hansson retired as Chairman of Air Imagua, and Anworth became Chairman, while [[Luana Castrogiovanni]] became the second CEO of Air Imagua.
 
Under her tenure, she continued to oversee the airline's expansion outside of the traditional Asterian market. At the same time, she sought to compete with [[Aeracara]], saying in 1996 that "Air Imagua ought to be to the east what Aeracara is in the west."
 
However, despite her efforts to improve the luxury of Air Imagua, by 2001, there was substantial backlash as many were feeling that she was making flights to Imagua "unaffordable to the average person". As such, she was kicked upstairs by the company's board of directors, who made her Chairman of the company, while bringing in [[Sid Bradley]] as CEO.

Under [[Sid Bradley]]'s tenure as {{wp|chief executive officer}} of Air Imagua, he decided to focus his efforts on "scaling back the opulence." Thus, first class services were terminated in 2004, with {{wp|business class}} becoming the highest ranked service on Air Imagua for all flights.

With a recession in 2005, Bradley took the opportunity to "downsize" its operations, with flights to smaller communities in [[Euclea]] and [[Coius]], as well as [[Asteria Inferior]] either reduced to just once a week, or cancelled altogether.
 
Bradley also began to reduce Air Imagua's reliance on a {{wp|Spoke–hub distribution paradigm|hub and spoke system}}, with plans in particular to stop using [[Montecara–Enrico Dulio International Airport]] as its Euclean hub, and instead have all flights from Euclea fly straight to Imagua and the Assimas from their places of origin. While the shifts did occur, Montecara was confirmed to remain the Euclean hub of Air Imagua in 2006.
 
In the early 2010s, as the economy started to recover, Air Imagua began expanding operations for the first time in nearly a decade, with flights to (TBC) commencing in 2013. However, in 2014, flights to [[Marirana]] were "indefinitely suspended" due to the start of a [[Mariranan Civil War|civil war]], which greatly diminished demand for both business and tourist traffic to Marirana.

History

Establishment and early years

After the end of the Solarian War in 1946, interest in aviation on Imagua and the Assimas took off, as during the war, airbases were established by both Etruria on the Assimas Islands, and Estmere on Imagua. Combined with the increasing demand for flights between Asteria Superior and Asteria Inferior, and the success of the United Provinces-based TBD, it was decided in 1953 by Marguerite Ernman and her cabinet to establish a national airline.

Thus, Imaguan Airways was incorporated on 10 August, 1953, with TBD appointed managing director of the new company. Over the next few years, airplanes were purchased, mostly from (TBC), and a route network was planned, with a focus on having Cuanstad Airport serve as a hub, while the airport at San Pietro to serve as a secondary hub, and all routes would be organized on a hub and spoke system.

On 5 June, 1956, the first flight took place, between Cuanstad and San Pietro. (TBC)

In its early years, the Imaguan Civilian Air Service was operated as a government agency under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport. During this time, the main focus of the ICAS was serving connecting flights in the Asterias region, with the ICAS primarily focused on using Cuanstad and San Pietro as the main hubs.

In the mid-1960s, with increasing demand of travel to and from Euclea, it was decided to engage in trans-Vehemenic flights to connect Cuanstad with Euclea: thus, secondary hubs were set up in TBD and TBD to
