Imaguan Airways (Vespasian: Aviovie Imaguane) was the former flag carrier of Imagua and the Assimas. Established in 195?, (TBC).
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
