Sensitive movements, handled quietly.
AERgO’s Government & Defence division delivers and coordinates aviation solutions for federal, state and allied government clients — from ministerial transit and ADF rotations to diplomatic repatriation and disaster response.
AERgO is a member of the Australian Department of Defence Air Transport Deed of Standing Offer Panel. Our crews hold current security clearances. Every aircraft selection is documented, auditable, and signed off through a single accountable charter manager — no rotating call centres, no outsourced dispatch.
When the situation changes mid‑task — weather, threat, scope, runway — there is one operations manager on point. They have the authority and the carrier relationships to re‑plan in minutes, not hours.
