Twin-engine air charter, scenic and medical flights from Gove Airport, East Arnhem Land
Black Diamond Aviation is a privately owned air charter operator based at the general aviation area of Gove Airport in Nhulunbuy, East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. Matthew and Mache Collins founded it in 2011, starting with one aircraft.
It operates its own aircraft under a Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Air Operator Certificate, approval number CASA.TAAOC.0477. Its work includes passenger charter, medical charters, scenic flights, search and rescue, and carriage of dangerous goods. A 2023 recruitment notice also listed airfreight and remote logistics, aerial survey and aerial photography.
The company flies light twin-engine piston aircraft. Its website features a Cessna 310R (VH-JOI) carrying four to five passengers with a range of roughly 1,500 km, and a 2023 job listing named Beechcraft Baron and Cessna 310 types.
The company serves the Top End and wider Northern Territory and offers flights elsewhere in Australia. Its Gove base suits travel between Nhulunbuy, remote communities in East Arnhem Land and Darwin.
No third-party safety audit such as ARGUS or Wyvern was found. The operator is small and regional and flies piston twins, not business jets.
