Network Aviation is an airline based at Perth Airport, operating air charter services in support of "fly-in fly-out" mining operations throughout Western Australia. In partnership with subsidiary engineering provider Network Turbine Solutions, Network Aviation operates over 50 flights a week on behalf of mining companies to facilitate crew changes at remote sites.[1][2]
History
After assisting to establish Skippers Aviation, Lindsay Evans founded Network in 1998. Originally operating a mix of smaller aircraft types such as Cessna 441 Conquests, Cessna 310s and Beechcraft Super King Airs, in partnership with key clients Network grew into larger types and commenced operating Embraer Brasilias in 2000 and Fokker 100s in 2008.[3]
In February 2011, Network Aviation was purchased by Qantas.[4] Network retains its current management, employees and operating structure, with the business to be aligned with Qantas' operations, standards and processes. With the purchase, Qantas stated it is looking at significantly growing Network's fleet and operations.[5]
In February 2011 Qantas announced that it was purchasing 10 Fokker 100 aircraft for its Network Aviation operation.
In May 2014 Network Aviation received approval to operate three weekly services from Perth to Learmonth with Fokker 100s.[6]
In March 2015 Qantaslink withdrew all their Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 RPT services from WA. Network Aviation took over these services to Geraldton, Western Australia and some services (Flights shared with Cobham Aviation Boeing 717 services) to Learmonth, Western Australia.[7] On 31 July 2015, Qantas announced that the Network branded Fokker 100 aircraft would be progressively rebranded into the QantasLink brand.[8][9]
