Cobham’s third Embraer 190 aircraft took to the skies for its inaugural passenger flight this week to bolster Cobham’s fleet dedicated to VIP charters and fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) flights in support of Australian mining, oil & gas projects.

We have appointed Phil Hood as Head of South East Australia - Regional Services, a newly created Adelaide-based role dedicated to ensuring an exemplary, personalised customer experience for Cobham customers across South Australia and the Eastern Seaboard.

Cobham has raised $3750 during Legacy Week 2021, through a fundraising morning tea and the sale of merchandise.

We hosted 30 Year 11 students as part of the University of South Australia’s STEM Girls program, giving them a tour of our aircraft maintenance hangar and headquarters to inspire them to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Last month Cobham flew 110 guests of BlueSky to Kununurra – the gateway to exploring the famous Kimberley region - for three days of regional adventures and sightseeing.

Cobham has introduced electronic flight bags (EFBs) for cabin crew on all passenger flights, enhancing safety reporting, improving workforce mobility, and reducing the carbon footprint associated with printed manuals.

We were thrilled to attend Australia’s leading mining forum, Diggers & Dealers, held in Western Australia’s Kalgoorlie on 2-4 August.

Cobham has obtained membership of Bioenergy Australia, an organisation focused on accelerating Australia’s energy transformation to bio-based fuel, gas, heat and power.

In June, Cobham flew 98 excited guests on a special BlueSky charter flight to the Pilbara Coast in WA for a weekend of fun and exploration.

Last month we welcomed a new Q400 to our fleet, while this week, our latest E190 aircraft has joined Cobham’s family of jets, flying in to our Perth base from Maastricht in the Netherlands.
