The Air Adventure Difference...
Spend less time on the road and more time exploring on an adventure curated by experts. By flying private, you don't need to worry about airport chaos or cancelled flights.
We've been flying the outback skies since 1977. All our pilots are highly experienced, each with thousands of hours in the air. You'll fly in safety and comfort on board a multimillion dollar, Swiss-built Pilatus PC-12 (the same aircraft that the RFDS use).
When you fly private you not only get to access seldom visited remote locations you save time and avoid the well trodden tourist path where large groups can’t go and big planes simply can’t land. Travelling with just eight passengers you'll gain access to remote and diverse places of unimaginable beauty.
For over 45 years Air Adventure  has been delivering truly authentic outback encounters.
There is no better way to visit remote Australia than by private aircraft.
We focus on flying you to the little known and seldom visited locations.
Time To Get Excited...
Our flight over the largest salt lake in Australia is a truly phenomenal sight from the air. Stretching a mind-boggling 144 kilometres by 77 kilometres, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre is a natural wonder. Its seemingly-endless expanse of shimmering salt crystals lure travellers year-round. A trip of a lifetime!
Parachilna’s internationally-acclaimed Prairie Hotel is where the Flinders Ranges meets the Outback. The Outback is dotted with some of Australia’s most loved and iconic Outback hotels and pubs -The Prairie is one of the best.
Land alongside the tree made infamous by the tragedy of the Burke and Wills expedition - an enduring reminder of the extreme harshness of the Outback.

Our Story
In the early 1960s the north of Western Australia was still considered by many to be the end of the world. Then along came Rod Dyer (1925-2008)- Pioneering Pastoralist and Bush Pilot - with a vision.
Air Adventure Australia was founded by Rod having clocked up over 10,000 hours as a bush pilot he pioneered ‘Ellenbrae’ cattle station in the Kimberley back in the 60s.
It was the combination of Rod’s knowledge, love of the outback and flying that led him to launch Air Adventure. Since 1977, thousands of travellers have chosen to fly with Air Adventure to the Australia less-travelled.
Today, the company is guided by Rod’s son, John Dyer who is also a pilot and very passionate about creating high quality travel experiences spanning the entirety of the Australian continent.
His team at Air Adventure, including his wife Alyson, share his enthusiasm and dedication to create unforgettable travel for their guests.
