Skippers Aviation

Skippers Aviation is a regional airline and charter company in Western Australia. It calls itself WA's truly regional airline. It runs scheduled passenger flights and charter flights from its Perth terminal in Redcliffe.

Scheduled flights serve regional towns including Laverton, Leonora, Meekatharra, Mount Magnet and Wiluna. Each town has its own flight schedule page on the website. The company also has flight information pages for infants and children, mobility assistance, baggage, dangerous goods and animals.

The Regional Airfare Zone Cap scheme is a partnership between Skippers Aviation and the Western Australian Government. One-way airfares between the regional towns and Perth are capped at $199 when booked as a return journey. Eligible residents can make up to 12 return trips per person each year under the scheme.

Charter services include corporate charters and flights for unscheduled trips. Customers can request a quote on the company's website. Charter enquiries are handled by a dedicated operations team.

The company flies Fokker 100 jets with 108 seats each. Two of these aircraft are in the fleet, and each has its own stairs. The Fokker 100 is pressurised and air conditioned, with a cruising speed of 800 km/h.

Flights are staffed by two pilots, with cabin crew on the larger aircraft. Customers can also use the terminal car park at Perth Airport Regional Terminals.
