About Fly Tiwi Airlines
Hardy Aviation and the Tiwi Land Council established Fly Tiwi in November 2008. Hardy Aviation, a Territory-owned and operated company, was founded in Darwin in 1991.
Fly Tiwi initially offered services to Bathurst, Melville Islands (Nguiu-Pirlangimpi, Milikapiti).
In January 2009, it was extended to serve the remote communities Warruwi on South Goulburn Island and Minjilang on Croker Island. Fly Tiwi expanded its reach to Ramingining, Arnhem Land in May 2009. Services have also been extended to Lake Evella, Milingimbi and other locations since then.
Hardy Aviation is proud of its close ties with Territory communities, and responds to emerging needs.
The Company has a fleet well-maintained aircraft with highly qualified pilots who are familiar with the Territory's unique flying conditions. Fly Tiwi flights follow strict guidelines for aircraft maintenance and pilot experience in Regular Public Transport (RPT).
