Afro-Continental Airways (ACA) was a subsidiary of Air Trans Africa, formed by Jack Malloch to operate a service between Salisbury, Rhodesia and Windhoek, South West Africa, Malawi with a Lockheed L1049G Super Constellation (Registered as VP-WAW) ex-Varig Brazilian Airlines.[1][2]

After a relatively short time operations ceased and the aircraft was grounded, to become a club-house at Charles Prince Airport, Mount Hampden, near Salisbury, Rhodesia.

The aircraft was reportedly broken up in the 1990s.
