Air Transport Operators Certificate


The process of obtaining a Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Air Transport Operators Certificate (AOC) authorising the conduct of commercial operations is intensive and thorough, however with proper preparation and guidance the process can be completed quickly with minimal fuss. Our services in this area are aimed at simplifying the process and helping to ensure it is completed quickly and professionally.

A key part of the process is the establishment of the important and mutually beneficial relationship required with CASA. Working with CASA in a productive and co-operative manner is vital for the safe conduct of commercial operations. We provide valuable advice on this aspect of an AOC application and show you "what YOU can do, to help CASA help you".

We assist you through the AOC application process and provide guidance and advice designed to ensure you a) establish your operation in an appropriate, safe, efficient and professional manner, b) lay the groundwork for a solid and sound relationship with CASA, and c) keep the process simple.

The following are some examples of the services we offer:

Pre-application Briefing

A pre-application briefing is designed to run through all aspects of the AOC application process. The briefing generally takes half a day and is designed to ensure you are fully aware of all the application requirements, know what tools and resources are available to assist you throughout the process, and provide you with tips and suggestions which can simplify and expedite the process.
