Services

Vincent Aviation serves primarily as a charter airline. It operates scheduled passenger services in Australia into Groote Eylandt, Cairns, Bathurst Island, Tennant Creek and Dili, Timor Leste from Darwin, and also does work in Japan, Ireland, Malaysia and Indonesia. Airways New Zealand awarded Vincent the contract to provide air cabability for the calibration of instrument approach aids throughout New Zealand.

Vincent Aviation's Air Charter business has been growing in New Zealand and works with corporate clients as well as sports teams including some work with New Zealand rugby teams. Vincent Aviation will be operating a service on weekdays between Darwin and Dili commencing from July 2011. This is a major step forward for both the airline and the nation of Timor Leste who will now have a National Airline.
