Did you know our Mail Planes travel 1.4 million km every year?

This photo was shared by our pilot Darran A. from Warburton WA on a CA902 RASS route - also known as the Mail Plane.

CA902 is one of the dozen weekly flights Chartair has undertaken for many years to service some of Australia's most regional areas. The flight includes several legs between Alice Springs - Blackstone - Patjarr - Warburton - Tjukurla - Alice Springs.

Did you know that our Mail Planes travel 1.4 million km every year? This equates to two return trips to the moon.

We deliver more than 190,000 kgs of freight and mail to 200 remote communities across these regions. This is the equivalent of carrying more than 30 fully grown African Elephants!

We are incredibly proud to be the wings that connect Outback Australia to the metropolitan areas and the rest of the world.
