Airborne Solutions

Airborne Solutions is a helicopter operator with bases in Darwin, Toowoomba in Queensland and Cessnock in New South Wales. It trades under the names Darwin Helicopter Tours, Toowoomba Helicopter Services and Airborne Fire Solutions. The company offers scenic tours, adventure experiences, private charters and aerial work.

The managing director has more than 30 years of helicopter flying experience. That experience covers stock mustering, aerial agriculture, underslung loads, aerial culling, firebombing, filming and photography.

The Heli Pub Crawl is the company's best known tour. It started in Darwin in 2007, when a former publican pilot set up a tour that visited five pubs and resorts. The company says it is one of the most popular tours in the Top End, and the website says it was voted one of the top ten things to do in Darwin.

Other Darwin tours include heli fishing trips, Litchfield waterfall and swim tours, and Kakadu day trips. Scenic flights cover Darwin Harbour, Crab Claw Island and Dundee Beach. Flying Crocs and Wetlands Wilderness Experience tours are also offered. Toowoomba Airport is the base for tours across Southern Queensland Country, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Aerial work includes mining and exploration support, aerial firefighting, powerline and pipeline survey, feral animal control and aerial agriculture. Filming and photography flights are also available.

Private charters, weddings and event transfers are offered. The company has flown guests to events such as the V8 races in Darwin and the Darwin Cup. Guests can also book fishing trips to the Gulf of Carpentaria or tours of the Tiwi Islands.

Customers can book a custom air tour with light jets or with light and medium helicopters on request. The website also lists weddings, a meeting and events service, gift vouchers, a cancellation policy and a frequently asked questions page.
