Network Aviation is an airline based at Perth Airport, operating air charter services in support of "fly-in fly-out" mining operations throughout Western Australia. In partnership with subsidiary engineering provider Network Turbine Solutions, Network Aviation operates over 50 flights a week on behalf of mining companies to facilitate crew changes at remote sites. After assisting to establish Skippers Aviation, Lindsay Evans founded Network in 1998. Originally operating a mix of smaller aircraft types such as Cessna 441 Conquests, Cessna 310s and Beechcraft Super King Airs, in partnership... with key clients Network grew into larger types and commenced operating Embraer Brasilias in 2000 and Fokker 100s in 2008. In February 2011, Network Aviation was purchased by Qantas Airways and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas. Network retains its current management, employees and operating structure, with the business to be aligned with Qantas' operations, standards and processes. With the purchase, Qantas stated it is looking at significantly growing Network's fleet and operations.
