Rex Group member National Jet Express (NJE) has secured two long-term mining contracts in WA to service the fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) market.
A new twice weekly chartered flights will run between Perth and Kalgoorlie and Kambalda for a mining company in the Goldfields.
Consolidated Minerals will also benefit from new three time weekly charter flights between Perth and Woodie Woodie.
“These two new contracts in our largest base in Western Australia demonstrate that the mining and resources industry recognises the Rex Group and NJE as a premier provider of FIFO services in Australia,” NJE managing director Chris Hine said.
“NJE is rapidly becoming the first port of call for resource companies seeking premium, safe and reliable air services in modern aircraft with a greatly reduced carbon footprint.”
NJE has added a De Havilland Dash 8-499NG aircraft to its fleet to keep up with the expansion. The company also plans to add additional aircraft to its Dash and E190 fleets before the end of the 2023–2024 financial year.
“NJE and Rex are well placed to support each other’s networks and this means that corporate clients that choose NJE for air charter services can be assured of the best possible level of reliability and integrity,” Hine said.
