Careers at Black Diamond Aviation

Black Diamond Aviation is a privately owned aircraft charter company, operating out of Gove Airport in East Arnhemland. Founded by Matthew and Mache Collins - a husband and wife team - we commenced our operations in 2011 with just one aircraft. However, it was Matthew's vision of providing an air service with an absolute and unambiguous commitment to remote settlements and communities within Arnhemland, and the corporate sectors that support and service them, that saw Black Diamond Aviation grow dramatically.
 
Black Diamond Aviation is the leading and locally preferred operator in Arnhemland, with a dedicated team of highly competent pilots and a superior fleet of aircraft. Our charter capabilities include passenger charter, scenic tours, airfreight and remote logistics, aerial surveys, aerial photography, and search and rescue.  
 
Gove Airport is located 15km from the Nhulunbuy township and is serviced by daily flights to and from Darwin (NT) and Cairns (QLD). Nhulunbuy has a strong sense of community and is the ideal place to live for individuals and families alike. Nhulunbuy boasts 2 primary schools, 1 high school, a hospital, a range of shops (including a Woolworths supermarket), pubs and restaurants. There is a range of very active sporting clubs and an aquatic centre. East Arnhemland is best known for its off-road driving, fishing and camping next to most pristine waters. Much of Arnhemland is untouched as is the perfect place to call home.

​At Black Diamond Aviation 
pride ourselves in handpicking our pilots and staff for their commitment, skills and enthusiasm for what we do and how we do it.
​If you share our passion for Top End flying and all that is Aviation, you are half way there!
