HeavyLift Cargo Airlines Pty Ltd is a cargo airline headquartered in Sydney, Australia. It started operations in 2004 and operates scheduled and charter cargo services. Its main base is Brisbane Airport.[2] HeavyLift took over passenger airline OzJet in 2008.[3] HeavyLift sold Ozjet and its passenger aircraft to Air Australia in 2009.

Heavylift operates both scheduled and charter cargo services between Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.[4]

As of November 2010 the Heavylift Cargo Airlines fleet consists of:[2][5]

The Belfast is now stored at Cairns Airport. During 2006 work was also underway at Bournemouth Airport to refurbish another aircraft once operated by HeavyLift's unrelated namesake UK airline, the unique Conroy CL-44-0; however it has been reported on various aviation internet message boards that this aircraft will not be delivered. A feature of the airline is that most of its aircraft are not registered in Australia, but in the Philippines.

In May 2008 Heavylift bought passenger airline Ozjet Airlines giving it access to an Australia air operator's certificate.[6] Ozjet discontinued passenger operations in May 2009.
