CASE STUDIES Australian Defence Force Project Locations Australian Capital Cities to Al Minhad (UAE) Client Requirement The transportation of ADF personnel and guests, as well as cargo to the Middle East as part of the Sustainment Program to the Middle East Area of Operations. A weekly return service was required, often with twice weekly services. Challenges Sourcing a suitable multi-engine, wide body aircraft which would provide long range capabilities as well as the capability to carry up to 265 passengers and a payload of 23 tonnes. Adagold Aviation has provided the ADF with a high level of responsiveness, underpinned by our comprehensive flight coordination and liaison capabilities. Solutions Adagold Aviation sourced an Airbus A340-300 supported with full time maintenance and operations staff in Australia. A dedicated team of 6 staff in Brisbane coordinate each flight and monitor every minute of the flight, updating the ADF of the aircraft s progress. Outcome As of January 2014, Adagold Aviation has provided over 200 return services for the ADF with an on time performance of 97%. Adagold Aviation has been ranked by the Australian Defence Magazine as the number one SME supplier to the Australian Defence Force in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Our Defence Operations department has flown over 100,000 troops and over 10.1 million kms for various governments worldwide, including 282 missions into Afghanistan. RESOURCES FIFO Client Requirement Brisbane Roma (Western Queensland) Client Requirement Ongoing transportation of staff working for a gas project in Western Queensland. Passenger numbers varied between 30 and 50 in each direction due to staff and rostering demands. Return services were required twice weekly, every Monday and Thursday. Challenges The client had a firm budget for the FIFO component of its project, therefore, sourcing the most suitable aircraft required an extensive search. The requirement was to provide better time efficiencies than regular passenger air transport and a cost saving. Solutions Following a market search across a range of aircraft and operators, Adagold Aviation sourced a Dash 8-300 aircraft, a reliable and versatile aircraft that suited our client s requirements and provided cost savings. The client utilised Adagold Aviation s Brisbane Jet Base which provided a seamless and efficient loading and unloading of the aircraft, as well as easy access for the passengers. Using ACAPS Global, simple manifesting and passenger changes were capable of being performed up to the last minute. A monthly report was provided to the client outlining exact staff movements, flight timings and associated costs. Outcome Our client has been extremely satisfied with all aspects of the FIFO charter with the cost benefits and the customer service provided by Adagold Aviation. 93% of all flights were on time and the remainder were within 15 minutes of scheduled times. The client has now entered into a further contract with us.
VIP 2013 FEDERAL ELECTION Project Locations Canberra, Capital Cities and Regional Towns Client Requirement The Australian Defence Force required two aircraft with 12 business class seats and 62 economy seats to transport media and campaign staff accompanying the two Prime Ministerial candidates. The aircraft were required to be on call each day for the entire 6 week campaign. The requirement included ground handling management at each airport. Challenges Once the 2013 election was officially called the aircraft were required almost immediately. Fast aircraft preparation along with support staff and crew were required. The schedule and flight destinations were not released until 4 hours prior to departure, providing an additional challenge for Adagold Aviation staff. Solutions Adagold Aviation sourced two 70 seat Fokker F70LR fitted with 12 business class seats in accordance with the client s requirements. We provided a Program Director as well as 4 dedicated Flight Managers to accompany each flight. This ensured that all schedules were met and the passengers were comfortable and catered for on the ground and in the air. Outcome The aircraft operated 77 services and worked every day of the campaign. A remarkable 100% on time performance was achieved despite the various changes to schedules and the plans of the two political parties. CARGO Project Locations North Queensland, Germany Client Requirement Our client, a mining contractor in North Queensland, suffered a major failure of a mechanical component. Each hour the equipment was inoperable was extremely costly. A replacement component was sourced in Germany and the most expedient way of transporting it to site was required. Challenges The component comprised three pieces, weighing 4 tonnes. The fastest way to transport the component was by air cargo which required a long range cargo aircraft for the intercontinental leg and a smaller cargo aircraft to access the smaller airstrip at the mine site. Solutions Within two hours of the initial call, the Adagold Aviation Cargo Team had a number of options to consider. Hours later, the component was loaded onto a dedicated Airbus A300 cargo plane and dispatched to Australia. In the meantime, our team had arranged for a smaller aircraft in North Queensland to transport the component on the final leg of its journey. Outcome Just 24 hours after leaving Germany, the aircraft landed and transferred the component to the smaller aircraft. Our knowledge and experience saved the client tens of thousands of dollars in lost time by having the component on site in just 33 hours.
