For more than four decades, Maroomba Airlines has been helping keep Australia’s mining industry moving.
As the official sponsor of the QME 2026 Networking Event, Maroomba Airlines is excited to join industry leaders, innovators and decision-makers in Mackay as Queensland’s premier mining and engineering event returns from 21–23 July 2026.
Founded in Western Australia and operating continuously for more than 40 years, Maroomba Airlines has built a reputation as one of Australia’s most trusted charter aviation operators, delivering safe, reliable and flexible air transport solutions to some of the nation’s most remote mining regions.
Today, the airline supports major mining and resources organisations through FIFO workforce transport, project charters, executive travel and specialised aviation services. Operating into regional and remote locations, including airstrips with unique operational challenges, Maroomba Airlines has developed proven expertise in connecting people, projects and communities where aviation is critical to success.
CEO Laura Benger said the airline’s participation at QME reflects its commitment to supporting Australia’s resources sector and expanding its presence in Queensland.
“Mining has been at the heart of Maroomba Airlines for more than 40 years. Our business was built on supporting remote industries and communities, and we understand the critical role aviation plays in keeping operations running safely, efficiently and reliably,” Ms Benger said.
“As we continue to grow, we see significant opportunities to support Queensland’s mining and resources sector. QME provides a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders, learn more about the challenges they face and explore how we can help solve them.”
Maroomba Airlines has undergone significant transformation in recent years, investing in its people, systems, safety capability and customer experience to remain future-fit and responsive to the increasing demands of the resources sector.
The airline continues to diversify its customer base while maintaining a strong focus on operational excellence, safety and long-term partnerships, ensuring it is well positioned to meet the evolving challenges of its customers.
With a fleet capable of servicing a wide range of operational requirements and a team experienced in supporting complex regional and remote operations, Maroomba Airlines is well positioned to support the evolving needs of the mining industry across Australia.
Delegates attending QME 2026 are invited to connect with the Maroomba Airlines team throughout the event and at the Networking Event on Tuesday evening.
