Welcome to Australia’s most complete private jet charter directory. Whether you are flying for business, leisure, mining, medical, or government purposes, this directory is your one-stop resource for finding private jet charter operators across every major city and region in Australia. Every charter operator offering services in Australia is required to hold an Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). You can learn more about how CASA regulates commercial aviation in Australia directly from the CASA website. We have built this directory to make it simple for you to find verified, CASA-regulated charter options in your area.
Australia is a vast country and private jet charter is one of the most efficient ways to travel between cities, remote regions, and mining sites. Use the directory below to explore charter operators available in each city. Click on any city to view detailed information, available operators, aircraft types, and routes serviced from that location.
Australia is one of the largest countries in the world by land area, making commercial airline schedules inconvenient for many travellers, particularly those heading to regional, remote, or mining locations. Private jet charter gives you complete flexibility over your departure time, destination, and onboard experience. You can fly directly to airports that commercial airlines do not service, avoid lengthy layovers in hub cities, and travel with your team or family in comfort and privacy. For corporate clients, time savings alone can justify the cost of charter, while for mining and resources companies, charter flights to fly-in fly-out sites are often the only practical option.
The Australian private jet charter market covers a wide range of service types to suit different budgets and needs. On-demand charter lets you book a specific aircraft for a specific flight. Empty leg flights are discounted one-way trips where an aircraft needs to reposition, offering significant savings for flexible travellers. Jet card programs give frequent flyers a set number of pre-purchased flight hours with guaranteed availability. Aircraft management services allow owners to offset costs by making their aircraft available for charter when not in personal use. Charter operators across Australia also specialise in medical evacuation flights, government charters, sports team travel, and luxury leisure travel.
All private jet charter operators in Australia must hold an Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). CASA conducts routine and unscheduled surveillance on all AOC holders to ensure ongoing compliance with Australia’s civil aviation safety regulations. The overarching regulatory framework is the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR), which sets the standards for aircraft airworthiness, pilot licensing, safety management systems, drug and alcohol testing, and crew training requirements. For international charter flights into or out of Australia, additional approvals may be required from the Department of Infrastructure. You can review the Australian Government’s international charter guidelines for more detail. When booking a charter, always confirm that your operator holds a current and valid AOC. You can verify this directly with CASA by calling 131 757.
Not all charter operators are the same. When selecting a provider through this directory, there are several things worth considering. First, confirm the operator holds a valid AOC from CASA. Second, ask about the aircraft types available and whether the fleet is modern and well-maintained. Third, check whether the operator uses in-house pilots or subcontracts, as this can affect consistency and service quality. Fourth, compare pricing carefully as quotes can vary significantly depending on aircraft type, positioning fees, and additional charges. Fifth, consider the operator’s experience with your specific type of travel, whether that is corporate, leisure, remote area access, or medical charter. Our directory is designed to help you find operators with the right specialisation for your needs.
Some of Australia’s most frequently chartered routes include Sydney to Melbourne, Sydney to Brisbane, Melbourne to Gold Coast, Perth to Broome, Darwin to Karratha, and Cairns to the Whitsundays. Remote and fly-in fly-out routes servicing mining sites in Western Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory also account for a large share of charter activity. Because private jets can access smaller regional airports that commercial airlines bypass entirely, charter travel opens up destinations across outback Australia, coastal Queensland, and Tasmania that would otherwise require multiple connections or long drives.
This directory is free to use. Simply browse the city listings above and click through to the page that matches your departure or destination city. Each city page includes information on charter operators servicing that area, the airports available for private jet arrivals and departures, typical aircraft options, and tips for booking. If you are a charter operator and would like to be listed in this directory, please visit our contact page and submit your details. We verify all listings before they go live to ensure only legitimate CASA-approved operators are included.
Australia’s private aviation industry connects business travellers, remote communities, mining operations, and leisure travellers to every corner of the country.
