Australian Corporate Jet Centres

What Australian Corporate Jet Centres does

Australian Corporate Jet Centres (ACJC) is a CASA-licensed international aircraft charter and management company headquartered in Melbourne and positioned as Australia's largest corporate private jet charter and management firm. It serves corporations, government clients, entertainment and VIP travelers, sports organizations, travel agents, and individuals, providing ad hoc charter, aircraft management, group movements, and a diversified fleet spanning corporate jets, helicopters, and turboprops.

The business operates across five Australian bases — Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth — and holds international operating certificates extending into New Zealand and Singapore. The operational stack is reinforced by three wholly-owned subsidiaries: JetCity (aeromedical/medevac charter), Australian Aircraft Engineering (MRO maintenance), and Melbourne Corporate Jet Centre (FBO ground handling). The platform carries multiple industry certifications (ISO 9001:2015, IS-BAO Stage II, BARS Gold) supporting tender eligibility for premium and government accounts.

ACJC monetizes through charter fees (per-mission pricing, typically quote-based), recurring aircraft management fees (covering crewing, scheduling, and maintenance oversight for owners), group movement programs for large parties, and downstream revenue at the FBO and MRO level. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales into corporate travel, government, and entertainment verticals, with travel-agent channel referrals covering individual/VIP demand. The combination of multi-base infrastructure, integrated subsidiaries, and international certification is the principal commercial differentiator relative to single-base charter competitors.
