Alliance Aviation Services Limited (ASX: AQZ) is an Australian charter airline company providing scheduled and charter passenger and cargo air transportation services primarily to the mining, oil and gas, and government sectors. The company operates a fleet of approximately 50 Fokker 70/100 and Cessna Caravan aircraft, offering services including fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workforce transportation, ad hoc charters, medical evacuation, and freight services; it also provides aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities through its engineering division. Alliance serves major resource projects across Western Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory, with additional operations in South Australia and interstate routes; founded in 2002 and headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland, the company targets resource companies, government agencies, and regional communities as key customers.
In recent developments, Alliance Aviation Services expanded its fleet and service capacity through a significant 2024 order for up to 10 additional Fokker 70 aircraft to meet growing FIFO demand in the mining sector. The company secured multi-year contract extensions with leading mining firms, including a A$300 million+ deal with a major iron ore producer in Western Australia, reinforcing its position as a key aviation partner for the resources industry. Furthermore, Alliance completed the acquisition of additional Cessna Caravans in late 2024 to enhance regional connectivity and cargo capabilities amid rising operational needs.
