Corporate Air Brisbane

Corporate Air is an Australian aircraft operator that runs charter flights mainly across eastern and southern Australia. The company says it was established in 1972. It is Canberra-based, and its website lists bases in Brisbane, Sydney, Goulburn, Canberra and Melbourne; this listing covers its Brisbane Airport operation.

Its main business is charter flying for companies, including fly-in fly-out (FIFO) work for resource and project crews as well as corporate group travel. Alongside charter, it provides FBO and ground handling services at Brisbane and Canberra, aircraft maintenance, aircraft management for owners, and flight validation work for instrument flight procedures.

Corporate Air flies its own fleet of turboprop aircraft rather than brokering. The fleet shown on its website consists of Saab 340B+WT airliners, Fairchild Metro 23s and Beechcraft King Air B200/B250 models, which suits group charters on regional routes and smaller corporate trips. Aviation trade press has also described Corporate Air as the parent company of the regional airline Link Airways (formerly Fly Corporate), which leased Saab 340 and Metro 23 aircraft from it.

On safety, the company states that it holds Flight Safety Foundation Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) Gold accreditation, a standard commonly required by mining and resources clients. Flyers can confirm current accreditation status with the BARS program.
