Dwyer Aviation Services

Integrity. Safety. Quality. Since 1980

The Original Helicopter Aerial Work Professionals – Townsville, North Queensland & Beyond

The Original

Dwyer Aviation Services is the Townsville Region’s original Helicopter Aerial Work Specialist, since 1980.

With integrity, safety and quality, we have been proudly serving our clients with a broad range of helicopter services, for over 40 years.

We are based on the edge of the Townsville and Burdekin (Ayr & Home Hill) Shires, with just a short flight to western regions like Collinsville and Charters Towers, and to the coastal centres of Ingham, Bowen and Proserpine.  

Although due to the demand for our specialised skills and experience, we occasionally travel considerable distances beyond, throughout Queensland, to provide our valued clients with aerial work and charter services.

We welcome your enquiry today.
