Right aircraft, right strip.
AERgO’s Mining & Resources division sources and operates everything from single Pilatus PC‑12 rotations into sub-700m strips to full Boeing 737 FIFO programs for Australia’s largest mining operators. We have been running remote aviation logistics since 2004.
Our operations team understands the pressures of mine-site scheduling: shift changes, weather delays, equipment movements, dangerous goods manifests. We build contingency into every program — when the situation changes, we have the solutions to recover and keep your crews moving.
Multi-year FIFO contracts are structured as standing agreements with a dedicated AERgO coordinator embedded in your logistics team for the life of the program. As your project moves from construction through ramp-up to full production, we’ll have the right aircraft for every stage.

Frequently asked questions
Does AERgO run FIFO charters to remote mine sites?
Yes. AERgO has run remote aviation logistics since 2004, from single Pilatus PC-12 rotations into sub-700m strips to full Boeing 737 FIFO programs, across Australian States and Territories and the Pacific, as single rotations or multi-year contracts.
What aircraft suit short and unsealed mining airstrips?
AERgO matches the aircraft to the strip — King Air B200 and PC-12 for short or unsealed airstrips from around 650m, through Dash 8 and ATR 72 turboprops, up to the Boeing 737 for sealed mine-site runways.
Can AERgO scale aircraft to our workforce over the life of a project?
Yes. Multi-year contracts are structured as standing agreements that flex with your workforce numbers — from construction through ramp-up to full production. As crew sizes change across the life of the project, AERgO matches the aircraft type and rotation schedule to suit, from a PC-12 or King Air B200 through to the Boeing 737.
