A day in the life of our engineering team at the Chartair hangar in Alice Springs.

Our team of engineers at Chartair Alice Springs is always up to something. 

Whether hammering out a complicated maintenance problem or just enjoying some downtime with a good chat with colleagues, these guys are always working hard to keep our aircraft in tip-top shape. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to fly!
