Cape York · Helicopter charter & adventures
See Cape York from the air.

What we do
Pick your adventure
Six ways to fly the Cape — from a barra session on water no boat can reach, to a multi-day expedition with a hot shower waiting every night. Every flight is private and built around you.
Remote fishing
Barra, GTs, queenfish and jacks in water almost no one has fished.

About BA Aviation
Born and flown on the Cape
BA Aviation Services is a locally owned and operated helicopter company based at Musgrave Roadhouse, on Cape York Peninsula's main road corridor — the gateway to some of Australia's most remote country.
We know the tides, the terrain and the weather, and the places that make the Cape extraordinary. Every flight is operated by the owner-pilot — you're dealing directly with the person who'll fly you.
- Owner-operated — direct contact with your pilot
- Robinson R44 & R66 — turbine and piston, up to 4 passengers
- Available dry & wet season (conditions permitting)
Aerial works
It's a working aircraft, too
BA Aviation isn't only scenic flights and fishing trips. We're a working helicopter operation, supporting graziers, land managers, governments and conservationists right across the Cape.
- Incendiary burning — aerial ignition for prescribed burns & fire management
- Weed surveying & eradication — GPS mapping, targeted spraying and compliance reporting
- Mustering, works, film & freight — wherever a chopper earns its keep
Where the roads end, we're just getting started.
Untouched coastline, hidden river systems and sandbars only a helicopter can reach.
