The Geltch family has been offering Fraser Island experiences and scenic flights off 75 Mile Beach since the mid-1970s when Harry Geltch was chartered on a fishing trip from the Central Coast on New South Wales to 75 Mile Beach. Harry fell in love with the island after conducting a few joy flights on the beach during his time on the island and promptly moved his company “Harrys Air Charter” to the Fraser Coast region in Queensland, Australia.

In 1992 Gerry Geltch became the Chief Pilot of Air Fraser Island and started working the beach alongside his father until Harry passed the reins over a few years later. Third generation, Troy Geltch completed his flight training and proudly joined the team of pilots in 2008.

Air Fraser Island are proud to offer unique Fraser Island experiences from the air as well as the ground also making Fraser Island more accessible in a timely manner operating daily services out of Sunshine Coast airport. We are one of the very few commercial operators in the world who offer beach take-offs and landings.

Our great safety record and reputation as one of the longest running tourism operators in the Fraser Coast has made us not only a very popular choice when it comes to making the most of travellers visit to the region but also for pilots to use the company as a very unique and exciting stepping stone to advance in their career in the aviation.
