Charter, maintenance and flight training from Hangar 86 at Essendon Fields, Melbourne
Interair is an aviation business based at Hangar 86, Essendon Fields, in Melbourne, Victoria. According to the airport's own news coverage, it has been at Essendon Fields since 1979.
The company began as the local distributor and maintenance centre for the Mitsubishi MU-2. Its maintenance work later expanded to business jet clients and private aircraft owners, and maintenance remains part of the business.
Interair moved into charter early on, starting with a Beechcraft King Air B200, and later added two Piper Navajo aircraft as the charter side grew. Current fleet details were not confirmed for this profile.
In 2002 the company opened a flight training school with a Cessna 182, a Piper Seminole and two Cessna 172s. The school trains private and commercial pilots.
The business is owned and directed by Ernie Shapanis, who joined as an apprentice in the 1980s and took full control of the company around 2020, according to a June 2024 Essendon Fields article.
