FlyPelican – local, committed, connected

FlyPelican is a 100% privately owned regional airline and aircraft charter company based in Newcastle and servicing regional Australia operating a fleet of five, 19-seat British Aerospace Jetstream 32 aircraft.

Our priority is to deliver safe and efficient connections  for communities, with all our services conducted using multi-crew airline operating procedures and our aircraft are maintained in accordance with the strictest standards as per CASA regulations.

All our staff are highly trained and skilled individuals, undergoing regular reviews and checks to ensure the highest level of safety and standards are maintained. 

Since commencing services in 2014, FlyPelican have expanded and grown across all  fronts including the destinations serviced and the amount of aircraft in our fleet.

With the  recent announcement of an operation between Canberra and Port Macquarie, we also  operate regular passenger services to the regions of Newcastle, Ballina (Byron Bay), Dubbo, Sydney, Taree, Cobar and Mudgee.

Alongside our continuously growing RPT network, we also offer a unique service of private air charter for anyone that requires or wants to go anywhere at any time. These charters are exclusive, as we offer a variety of catering options and refreshments to cater for your needs. 

Throughout 2020, the support we have received from local governments has been phenomenal as well as the feedback from local residents, who use our services for connecting with grandkids, friends and family. With the lead up to Christmas, now is the time to visit, catch up and unwind, all without the hassle and stress of Christmas traffic. 

Our modern Twin Turbo Prop aircraft are capable of providing an efficient and seamless  service to many airports within Australia. Available 24×7 and offering contracted and ad hoc charter services, we can provide tailored transportation services for a diverse client  base.

Our aircraft have the largest cabin of any 19-seater in its class. Seating configuration  of 1 – 2 provides maximum comfort for regional travel. 

The Jetstream has multiple, large cargo compartments as standard. These compartments  are capable of holding most oversized luggage items, such as walking frames, golf clubs  or even animal cages, for our recently introduced pet carrying service.

For your next trip,  take your furry best friend with you, or pack your clubs and play some of the best courses NSW and the ACT have to offer. 

We prioritise the comfort of our passenger needs and in conjunction with many local businesses we have been able to offer our passengers inflight reading material, refreshments, snacks and accommodation specials on selected routes.

To improve the  passenger experience onboard we are in the process of refurbishing the interior of our fleet with updated carpets and seat coverings along with the inflight offerings. 

Our current December schedule has FlyPelican operating 80 scheduled flights per week  with a plan to increase to 120 in the new year.

Whether you are travelling for business,  pleasure, fly-in fly-out, or transporting freight, we can provide a solution to suit your needs at an affordable cost and will continue to be your local airline, keeping regional communities connected.
