About
Department of Fire and Emergency Services awarded a contract to Aviair (Aviair Pty Ltd) for the provision of rotary and fixed‑wing aircraft services to assist DFES operational requirements in the Kimberley Region under a panel arrangement.
The contract covered aerial ignition (incendiary) services, response operations, re‑supply operations and transport of goods, aerial reconnaissance, crew/personnel transport for evacuation or first response, heavy lift operations (>1.5T/>20 pax) and other approved aerial work.
The supplier was required to provide qualified pilot(s) with the required certifications and endorsements to carry out aerial ignition, fire support, charter and other approved tasks as part of DFES fire management and other operations.
The award established a multi‑category aerial services panel for remote Kimberley operations, reflecting DFES' need for contractors able to provide both rotary and fixed‑wing capability and certified aircrew to deliver aerial ignition, firefighting support, transport, reconnaissance and heavy‑lift functions in austere environments.
