T1 - Rottnest Air Taxi | Lilypad Elevate fly from Perth. Air taxi & scenic - fast ferry alternate (Jandakot Terminal 1)

Rottnest Air Taxi is a small Western Australian air operator based at Perth's Jandakot Airport. Flights are operated by Wadjemup Aerial Service Pty Ltd under a CASA air operator certificate, and the business says it has served Western Australia since 1993. In March 2025 it was acquired by FlyOnE, a Jandakot-based aviation company, which took over the certificate and fleet.

Its core product is the short hop between Jandakot and Wadjemup (Rottnest Island), sold as return, one-way or joy-flight bookings. The website also lists flights to Leeuwin Estate in the Margaret River region and to Jurien Bay and Cervantes, private air charter, discounted empty-leg seats and fly-and-dine style packages. Scenic flights cover Perth city, the Swan River, the northern beaches and Rottnest.

The fleet is made up of light single-engine piston aircraft. Aviation data service ch-aviation reported five aircraft registered to Wadjemup Aerial Service, two Cessna 172s and three Piper PA-32s, though an earlier report counted four. Group size per aircraft is therefore small, and larger parties may need several aircraft.

The listing name refers to Lilypad Elevate, a name that appears in FlyOnE booking links; the website does not explain the brand. Flyers should confirm the departure gate at Jandakot when booking, as the site gives more than one.
