Experience

Since 1980
.
Growing from a single pilot, single aircraft enterprise back in 1980, we have developed a long standing professional network and established a much larger scale operation to become North Queensland’s number one helicopter aerial work specialist. Many industry leaders and Government departments prefer to use Dwyer Aviation Services as we are a one-stop shop for all helicopter needs. We have the resources to take on tasks from a single needs basis to a whole project, with every operation tied in closely with our extensive Safety Management System, tailor made for our company.
