HM Air

HM Air is a family owned aviation company based in Katherine in the Northern Territory. It is part of the Heli-Muster NT group. The company says it has operated in the region since 1976 and has served Northern Australia for over 40 years.

HM Air runs charter flights with helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. Fixed wing charter serves government, corporate and private clients. Helicopter charter covers private and corporate transfers, event arrivals, sightseeing tours and heli fishing trips. Its fixed wing base is at Tindal Civil Terminal, at Katherine Airport. Helicopter industry services cover aerial crane work, agriculture, film, fire and emergency work, mining and gas support, survey and powerline inspection. The company says its aerial crane can lift loads of up to 1200 kg. Its helicopters also carry out pest and weed management for Indigenous organisations, national parks and pastoral properties.

Aerial baiting services run across the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The company uses high wing monoplanes with double rear cargo doors, and every baiting flight is recorded with GPS navigation. Its pilots have extensive low level flying and baiting experience.

Aerial incendiary work uses a Cessna 206 fitted with a Raindance 3 incendiary machine. The company says flights can be flown at cruise speed with the doors on. Each flight is logged through the Tracmap platform, and pilots work to custom GPS files.

Freight services cover stores and general freight across the Top End. These include remote community stores deliveries in the wet and dry seasons, medical supplies and rapid delivery of emergency parts. Survey work includes property inspections, power line assessments, environmental, mining and geological surveys.

Maintenance services include a Robinson Service Centre, overhauls for Robinson R22, R44 and R66 helicopters, Robinson parts and field engineering support. The company is a BARS accredited service provider to the mining, oil and gas industries of Northern Australia.
