Wrightsair

Wrightsair is an air charter and scenic flight operator based at William Creek in outback South Australia, close to Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. The company states it has operated from William Creek since 1992. Its website describes Wrightsair Pty Ltd as a division of LA & AM Matthews, and the business also lists bases at Coober Pedy and Wilpena Pound Resort.

Much of its work is scenic flying over Lake Eyre, the Anna Creek Painted Hills and the Flinders Ranges, but it also offers charter flights across Australia, both to main hubs and to remote strips. The company names corporate groups and coach tour parties among its charter users, and some of its aircraft are described as suitable for freight as well as passengers.

The fleet listed on its website consists of single and twin piston and turboprop types, including Cessna Grand Caravans seating up to 13 passengers, a Kodiak 100 nine-seat turbine aircraft, a Piper Aerostar twin and smaller Cessna types such as the 210. Seating across the fleet ranges from three to 13 passengers.

Wrightsair won the South Australian Tourism Award for Major Tour and Transport Operator in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and was later inducted into the state's tourism Hall of Fame, according to its website. The William Creek aerodrome entry in the Airservices Australia facilities listing names Wrightsair as the aerodrome contact. For private flyers, it is a small regional operator suited to outback access and group sightseeing rather than jet travel.
