History
Established as the ESB Aviation Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of the ESB Group (Apollonia) reporting to the Directorate of Security for the Honourable Company. The enterprise specialised in the provision of aviation support services to corporate and governmental clients. Registered on 7.VIII.1703 AN in Tiegang, with offices leased in the Blackfriars district of that city.
Commencing from 13.VIII.1703 AN, the ESB Aviation Group was awarded a five year contract for the provision of air policing services in Lontinien and adjoining territories by Defence Services Command of Hurmu. Contract extended to 1712 AN, and then re-awarded for a ten year period (1712 AN – 1724 AN).
In 1728 AN ESB Aviation Group was restructured as the Honourable Air Corporation, t/a the Honourable Air Corps, headquartered in Huyenkula, with subsidiary offices in Tiegang, Aqaba, Chryse, and Erudition.
The HAC suffered heavy losses during the Sathrati Emergency and duly was obliged to reconstitute its strength in the Benacian Union during 1733 AN – 1735 AN.
