Aboriginal Air Services was an umbrella company of 4 distinct airlines owned by the Aboriginal people of central Australia. Four companies (see list below) gradually came together as a consortium over nearly twenty years.[1] The consortium, known as Aboriginal Air Services was fully owned by the Aboriginal people.
In the late 1990s, Aboriginal Air Services offered tourist flights on the mail plane.[2]
The consortium ceased operating on 17 September 2006.[3]
