Smart Air
Businesses based in the eastern reaches of the Murray region are well serviced by the second busiest airport in regional NSW at Albury adding to the attraction of daily flights to Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, is the availability of charter services provided by the established aviation business, Smart Air.
Originally known as Air Centre Albury, the company was formed in 1968, well before commercial flights were established in this region. Smartair has been crucial in linking business people and products to remote or regional locations not serviced by commercial airlines. Charter flights not only increase productivity, but clients also recognise the value and time efficiency of direct flights and flexible travel schedules.
Among those taking advantage of Smartair’s charter flights are medical professionals who can now easily connect with patients in the more remote western reaches of the Murray. Other clients include industrial or manufacturing businesses servicing remote locations and facilitating long distance crew changes, government departments, real estate inspection services, stud stock buyers and a multitude of others including those who simply want to fly directly to their holiday destination or where an emergency response is needed.
The Smartair Charter fleet Smartair owns, operates and maintains a diverse fleet of aircraft varying in size from a two-seater trainer through to the eight-seater Beech Super King Air B200, the most popular business aircraft model of all time.
The King Air is a pressurised, turboprop aircraft offering a ‘business class’ flight experience. It is fast and luxurious and provides unmatched convenience and efficiency for corporate charters, such as its ability to land on relatively short runways and cover vast distances in one day while flying at high altitude.

• Piper Seneca (up to 4 passengers)
• Piper Navajo (up to 7 passengers)
• Beech Super King Air B200 (up to 8 passengers)
