What we do
StarFlight combines LifeFlight’s clinical and aeromedical expertise with Linfox’s logistics and operational scale to deliver locally-embedded, nationally backed aviation solutions that save lives and strengthen communities.
Connecting our capability to our client’s needs, StarFlight offers an unmatched suite of aviation solutions (both fixed and rotary wing) in law enforcement and Defence, emergency services and rescue, aeromedical retrieval operations, patient repatriation, and oil and gas.
We are a leading provider of mission-critical fixed and rotary wing services
Backed by LifeFlight’s 45+ years of aeromedical experience (8,000+ missions p.a.; 90,000+ people helped) and Linfox’s logistics heritage, StarFlight delivers mission assurance and accountability on complex, multi-year engagements. Our capabilities include the following.
We design, equip and operate fixed- and rotary-wing services tailored to client needs: HEMS, SAR, law-enforcement support, defence tasking, offshore rig medevac, patient repatriation and long-range air ambulance.
We specialise in seamless contract starts and handovers that protect service continuity for communities. Our mobilisation playbooks prioritise incumbent workforce retention, rigorous safety governance and operational readiness from Day 1.
StarFlight embeds teams in the regions we serve hiring locally, partnering with health services and forming Regional Advisory Committees while drawing on national training, clinical governance and fleet resources to scale when required.
We provide aircraft & mission-system design, specialist flight and clinical personnel, engineering & maintenance, training & checking (RTO), communications & mission coordination, facility fit-out and logistics support—delivered as a single accountable provider.
Through apprenticeships, accredited training pathways and community initiatives like First Minutes Matter trauma training programs we grow local capability and build resilience across regional networks.
All operations are performed under our CASA-approved AOC and approved maintenance systems, with continuous reporting and oversight to contracting authorities to meet long-term contract KPIs.
