Our Top 5 private jet players in Australia
Best private jet company in Australia 2026
Criteria, ranking and advice to charter a private jet in Australia in 2026, from major cities to mining sites.
How we built this ranking
Chartering a private jet in Australia comes with very specific constraints. The territory is immense, the distances between major cities considerable, and many destinations are remote sites, notably mining zones served by FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) operations. Added to this is a regulatory requirement: the AOC (Air Operator’s Certificate) issued by the CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority). For this 2026 ranking, we used four criteria:
- Certification: possession of a valid AOC issued by the CASA, as a guarantee of safety.
- Territorial coverage: ability to serve both major cities and remote mining sites.
- Transparency: clarity on price and margins, absence of hidden costs.
- Service: dedicated contact, responsiveness and 24/7 availability, including for last-minute requests.
Full transparency: we are ourselves a broker, and this ranking reflects our point of view. We own that, while saluting the genuine quality of the other players cited, who are excellent professionals in the Australian market.
The 2026 Australia ranking
| # | Company | Specialty | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Private Jets Connect | Independent broker, access to all operators | 9.5/10 |
| 2 |  Adagold Aviation | Independent leader since 1992 | 9/10 |
| 3 |  Navair | Modern light jet fleet, FIFO | 8.5/10 |

| 5 |  ACJC | Charter, aircraft management & FBO | 8/10 |
1. Private Jets Connect, our #1 choice
In Australia, two obstacles dominate: distance and certification. Connecting Sydney to Perth, or reaching an isolated mining site, requires the right aircraft and an operator duly holding an AOC issued by the CASA. Comparing these operators one by one is time-consuming. That is precisely where an independent broker comes into its own.
Private Jets Connect owns no aircraft and is tied to no fleet. For each request, we query all local and international operators serving your route, whether it involves a connection between major cities, a FIFO flight to a mine or a long-haul journey to Europe. We systematically verify operator certification, put them in competition and select the most suitable aircraft.
Our difference comes down to three points. First, independence: no bias towards any operator, giving neutral access to the full range of options. Next, transparency: a clear quote, with no hidden margin. Finally, freedom: no subscription, no deposit, you book à la carte. All with a single French-speaking point of contact, available 24/7. On a territory as vast as Australia, that is what makes us, in our view, the best way to access all the market’s certified players.
2. Adagold Aviation
Active since 1992, Adagold Aviation presents itself as Australia’s “leading independent provider”. The company covers a broad spectrum: charter, leasing and group charters from 10 to more than 200 passengers, serving a government and corporate clientele. It also handles freight logistics.
This versatility and longevity make it a benchmark for large-scale operations and group travel. It is logically our second position.
3. Navair
Australian operator Navair relies on a modern light jet fleet, supplemented by broker access to other aircraft types. It serves Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and remote sites, with genuine expertise in FIFO, urgent freight and helicopter operations.
It is a relevant choice for those who combine travel between major cities and access to isolated destinations, where fleet flexibility makes the difference.
4. Avcair
Based in Brisbane, Avcair has more than 20 years of experience in the VIP and corporate segment. The company is particularly popular with executives in the mining and oil sectors, and claims more than 200 domestic destinations.
For demanding business clients who travel regularly to industrial sites and regional capitals, it is an established and reliable operator.
5. ACJC
ACJC (Australian Corporate Jet Centres) is a CASA-approved company with a comprehensive model: global charter, aircraft management, FBO services and aeromedical operations. It operates from bases in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.
This vertical integration makes it a solid partner for those seeking a company capable of managing both the flight and aircraft management. Alongside it, RiseJet is another player in the market worth mentioning. In all cases, always verify the validity of the AOC issued by the CASA before chartering.
In summary
The private jet market in Australia is mature and well-regulated: Adagold leads group operations, Navair excels in FIFO and light jets, Avcair serves the mining sector and ACJC offers an integrated charter and management model. Each has its strengths, but none replaces an overview of the entire market.
That is why, for a flight project in Australia, we recommend using an independent, transparent and responsive broker who verifies AOC certifications and puts all these players in competition for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our services
What is the best private jet company in Australia?
Among the Australian benchmarks, Adagold Aviation (independent leader since 1992) and Navair (modern light jet fleet) rank highly. But the best choice depends on your route and dates. To compare all certified operators without limiting yourself to just one, using an independent broker like Private Jets Connect remains the simplest approach.
What are the CASA and the AOC?
The CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) is Australia’s aviation safety authority. It issues the AOC (Air Operator’s Certificate), the certificate that authorizes a company to operate commercial flights. Verifying that an operator holds a valid AOC issued by the CASA is an essential safety assurance before any charter.
How to fly between Australia and Europe by private jet?
A flight from Australia to Europe is a long-haul journey that often requires one or more technical stopovers. An independent broker queries operators capable of handling this type of mission, optimizes aircraft positioning and manages all formalities. Private Jets Connect organizes these flights with a single French-speaking point of contact, available 24/7.
Are there FIFO private jet flights?
Yes. FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) involves transporting teams to remote mining sites, a major activity in Australia. Operators such as Navair or Avcair are popular with executives in the mining and oil sectors. A broker will guide you to the most suitable certified aircraft and operator for these remote destinations.
