Rhodesia United Air Carriers (RUAC) was a company formed in 1957 by the amalgamation of several existing charter companies; Air Carriers Limited and Flights (1956) of Salisbury, and Fishair of Victoria Falls.[1] Commercial Air Services (Rhodesia) of Bulawayo was integrated into RUAC in August 1960, following the merger of its holding company, Airwork Ltd (also known as Airwork Services), with Hunting-Clan (which had owned Air Carriers Ltd), a subsidiary of the maritime company Clan Line.
RUAC was a Beechcraft agent for Central Africa. They operated a fleet of Beech Barons, several Piper Apache and Aztec aircraft, a De Havilland Dove, a Beechcraft Musketeer and a Beechcraft Bonanza.[2]
The company had bases at Salisbury (head office and maintenance base), Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.[2]
