With over 35 years of flying outback Australia air tours, Kirkhope Aviation can take you to the best remote locations – whether it is for a business air charter or a holiday tour.
Business Air Charter / Private Air Charter
Business and Private Air tours with Kirkhope Aviation now offer a turbine pressurized 11 seat aircraft as well as their current piston fleet. Travel in style to your next business conference or to visit your clients in the ‘world proven’ and most popular KingAir aircraft.
A business air charter allows you to select your own schedule and the flights often save the extra one or two days accommodation. Also it is often easy to have multiple destinations in the one day which may suit certain business clients.
Destinations include Victorian country towns that may be difficult to reach commercially and to all other states of Australia.
The KingAir travels at 550 km/hr and is pressurised so it flies above the weather. It is extremely reliable being twin turbine engines.
… typical flight times are:
Victorian towns : 30 – 45 minutes
Sydney, Hobart or Adelaide : 1.5 hours
Brisbane, Alice Springs : 3 hours
Also available are non-business activities such as:
- one day golf trips to the fabulous Barnbougle Golf Course… only 1 hour
