Reliability And Safety
The Cornerstone of Our Service
At Waltzing Matilda Aviation, reliability is more than a goal — it's a standard we've consistently met for the past five years. With a 96% dispatch rate*, we've built a track record of performance that reflects our commitment to precision, preparedness, and putting your schedule first. Here's how we do it:
*Note: Dispatch reliability for most major operators runs in the 85-90% range
Consistent Return-to-Base Operations
We prioritize reliability in every aspect of our operations, ensuring that your travel plans are executed flawlessly. Our commitment to dependability means you can count on us for punctual departures, consistent service quality, and seamless coordination of all travel details.
Simplified, Expert Maintenance
We operate a focused fleet of aircraft, which means our mechanics have deep, specialized knowledge. Combined with reliable access to parts through our strong OEM relationships — even in a complex market — we keep things moving without delay.
Experienced Crews, Sharp Eyes
Our high-time flight crews have the experience to spot potential mechanical issues early — often before they become disruptive. Their vigilance helps prevent problems from ever reaching the runway.
Hangered, Protected Fleet
All of our aircraft are stored in temperature-controlled hangars, away from the elements. This care extends their lifespan and keeps them in top shape year-round.
Lower Utilization, Higher Readiness
We manage to optimize each aircraft's utilization to ~500 flight hours per year, compared to large floating fleets that often fly double that amount. This strategic approach ensures less wear, resulting in greater reliability, fewer unexpected maintenance issues, and enhanced availability for our clients.
Fleet Flexibility
If needed, we can often sub-service your trip with another aircraft from our fleet — adding another layer of protection for your travel plans.
