About Katherine Aviation

Servicing greater NT and beyond

Katherine Aviation was established in 2006 with one plane and one pilot and has since expanded to 5 bases across the Northern Territory. 

We are a family owned and run company employing over 30 staff and operating 25 aircraft. Further expansion has involved implementation of an in-house maintenance facility and the construction of a large purpose built base of operations at Katherine (Tindal) Airport. 

Our services vary from general charter, freight only charter, medical retrieval, patient travel, Australia Post mail flights and more. We also provide Scenic flights across Nitmiluk and Kakadu National Parks and surrounding areas. 

Our 24/7 Operations team ensures that we are always ready to take your booking requests or enquiries no matter the time of day or night. Many of our flights are booked at the last minute and therefore flexibility is our strong suit! 

For any booking requests or queries please contact us!
