About Us

“Our base in Longreach enables us to provide reliable transportation options as well as a range of Outback Flight Tours.”

Lyndel Owens, Central Reservations Manager.

Air Central West was founded by Phillip Owens in 1995. The business commenced operations with a single aircraft, the Beechcraft Bonanza, specialising in scenic flights of Lake Eyre and the Channel Country as well as accommodating for customised corporate travel and tours. Within the last 16 years the client base of Ar Central West includes many Government and Corporate Departments, Mining Contractors, Stock and Station Agents, Tourism Organisations and Outback Flight Tours.

With an increase in the demand for reliable air transport we have extended the Air Central West fleet with a Twin Engine, Beechcraft Baron. This decision allowed us to broaden our services and to operate all hours, 7 days a week, right across Australia. Phillip Owens and Lyn Ownes have lived and worked in Western Queensland all of their lives and Phillip has over 30 years flying experience.

Proud Members of Tourism Queensland and the ..flying something.
