Platinum Aircraft Charter

Platinum Aircraft Charter is an air charter operator based at Adelaide Airport in South Australia. It was previously known as Lucas Air Transport. The company started flying in 2008, when it moved earthmoving workers to and from remote mining sites. It now flies people and cargo across South Australia and across Australia.

Lucas Air was the first South Australian flight operator to receive Approved Single Engine Propeller Turbine Aircraft (ASEPTA) status. The company says this approval allows passenger charter flights in all weather, day and night. Without it, aircraft can only fly in clear daytime skies.

Services include mining and fly in fly out (FIFO) charter, luxury VIP charter and corporate aircraft charter. Government trips and group or commercial charters are also available. The company offers air touring flights for tour operators and for international and interstate guests who want to see the outback.

Cargo flights include newspaper delivery, urgent mining parts and transplant organs, often at short notice. Medical charters carry biological samples, medical equipment and specialised medical teams to remote areas of Australia.

The company flies from Adelaide to major centres and to most regional and mining centres in Australia. Its aircraft can land on bush strips. Customers have praised the pilots for handling rough outback landings with care.

Passengers can use the executive lounge at the Adelaide Airport General Aviation Terminal. Charters can be arranged at any time, as the company says it is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The fleet includes the Beechcraft Super King Air. The company says it offers aircraft with well appointed interiors and comfortable seats. Its website has a frequently asked questions page and customer testimonials from groups who landed on rough bush strips. The team handles enquiries from Adelaide and across South Australia and beyond. The aircraft page lists the Beechcraft Super King Air, and the passenger lounge page describes the executive lounge at Adelaide Airport.
