Air Logistics Operating Workflow
An end-to-end operational framework de-risking remote air access, charter procurement, daily coordination, and IROPS response. Click any process box to highlight and inspect technical details.
Demand Gathered
All requests from client & site contractors
Aggregates passenger seat requests, cargo tonnages, and hazardous materials manifests across all site contractors and EPCM partners.
Single consolidated demand ledger before chartering, eliminating redundant empty seat-miles and scheduling conflicts.
Aviation Support Tailored to Your Project Stage
From scoping viability to final asset decommissioning, we support your remote project logistics at every phase of the lifecycle.
Air Logistics Management
The extended arm for your aviation. We decide what to fly, secure the operators, move your people, and drive the cost of every rotation down. You get one team that owns the flying, instead of a problem spread across your desk, an EPCM, and three charter brokers.
What We Do
- Recommend the right aircraft for the mission and the strip
- Source and vet operators, including scarce rotary-wing
- Reconcile and plan personnel movements
- Act as central command for daily operations
- Estimate and control the aviation budget
- Optimize FIFO rotations and flight operations
What You Receive
- A costed air logistics plan you can commit to
- Operator contracts matched to real availability
- A single point of accountability for flying
- Lower, defensible cost per seat and per rotation
- Fewer surprises the day something can't fly
Operations Management
We don't hand over a binder and leave. We put trained Cirrus people inside your operation and run it, from covering a manager's absence to operating the aerodrome on your behalf, through to the end of the mine's life.
What We Do
- Interim and relief airport management
- Operate the airport fully on your behalf
- Run safety management and compliance
- Handle dangerous goods correctly
- Own the daily schedule and exceptions
What You Receive
- An airport that stays open, staffed, and compliant
- Continuity when a key person leaves
- The operational burden off your leadership
- A partner who stays to the last flight
Feasibility & Design
Get the aviation right before it is set in concrete. Early in a project we run the feasibility, build the RFP, and design the air logistics and aerodrome infrastructure, so a wrong paper plan never becomes the thing that delays first ore.
What We Do
- Aviation and logistics feasibility studies
- Independent review of EPCM aviation estimates
- RFP scoping and operator evaluation
- Aerodrome and airstrip infrastructure design
What You Receive
- A field-tested view of what the aviation really costs
- An RFP that buys the right capability
- A design that meets the regs and the site
- Risk taken out before the budget is locked
Competency Development
Training that sticks, so your own people can run the operation with confidence. Online, technical, and advisory, built for teams whose business is mining, not aviation.
What We Do
- Online and technical training programs
- Competency frameworks and program advisory
- Structured handover of a running operation
What You Receive
- A team that can run the aviation without us
- Documented, repeatable operating practice
- Less key-person risk on the ground
Simple to start. Structured underneath.
You don't need to know what you need before you call. Most engagements move through the same four steps.
Scope the situation
A short, structured intake and a call. We figure out where the aviation actually stands and where the risk is.
Diagnose & cost it
We put real numbers on the options, the cost, and the risk, framed for the people who own the budget.
Plan or run it
We design the air logistics, or step in and operate it, depending on what the project needs.
Optimize & hand over
We keep taking cost and risk out, and train your team so it holds after we step back.
Not sure which service you need? That's fine.
Tell us where the project is and where the aviation stands. We'll point you to the right starting place.
