former Australian conglomerate founded in 1936 (as Ansett Airways Proprietary Ltd.) by Reginald Ansett. It ceased operations in 2001.
Ansett (Sir Reginald since 1969) began in 1931 with a motorcar passenger service in the Western District of the state of Victoria. In 1936 he founded the airline company for service between Melbourne and Hamilton. After World War II the company began new interstate services and manufacturing and in 1946 changed its name to Ansett Transport Industries Limited. By 1951 the company had extended its activities into hotels and was operating some 200 motor coaches. In 1957 it purchased Australia’s largest privately owned airline, Australian National Airways (renamed Ansett Airlines of Australia), and later acquired other regional airlines in Australia and New Guinea. The company secured a license for a television station in Melbourne in 1963 and another one in Brisbane in 1964. Further diversification in that era extended into motels, resorts, freight services, industrial equipment manufacturing, automotive sales, aircraft sales, etc. In 1979 media entrepreneur Rupert Murdoch gained control through majority interest in Ansett. Although Air New Zealand had acquired full ownership of the Australian air carrier in 2000, Ansett ceased operations in 2001.

The original farming settlement was known as Double Springs, and the town was founded there in 1846 as a steamboat station. It was renamed for James Gadsden, who later negotiated the Gadsden Purchase (1853) of territory from Mexico. Adjacent Alabama City was annexed by Gadsden in 1932.
Gadsden’s economy is primarily based on poultry processing and the manufacture of steel, appliances, automotive parts, and wood products. Health care is an important service industry. The city is the site of Gadsden State Community College (1985). The waterfall at the city’s Noccalula Falls Park drops more than 90 feet (27 metres) over a ridge of Lookout Mountain into a ravine. The park also contains historical sites and a botanical garden. The Gadsden Museum of Arts is in the city. H.
