How many passengers can the aircraft carry?
The Citation Mustang carries up to four passengers in comfort, with room for up to 325 kg of baggage below.
Where do you fly?
Across eastern Australia — from Far North Queensland to Tasmania, and New South Wales out to outback South Australia. Because we fly direct, we can reach regional airports the airlines don't serve. Send us your date and destination and we'll confirm what's achievable.
Is this a scheduled service?
No. EDS Aviation operates private charter on a whole-of-aircraft basis. There are no timetables and no per-seat tickets — you charter the aircraft, and it flies on your schedule.
How do I book, and what does it cost?
Send us the date, the route and the number of passengers via the enquiry form, or call 0467 009 700. Every trip is quoted individually, so we'll come back to you with a price for your specific flight.
Who will be flying?
EDS Aviation is a CASA-approved air transport operator. Most charters are flown by a former Virgin Australia Boeing 737 captain, with thousands of hours of commercial experience across the crew.
Can you use smaller regional airports?
Often, yes. The Mustang needs just 948 m of runway to take off and 725 m to land, which opens up regional airfields the airlines can't use. We confirm suitability for your specific airports when we plan the trip.
How long before departure do I need to arrive?
There's no terminal and no check-in queue, so you arrive shortly before departure rather than hours ahead. We'll confirm exact timing with you when the trip is booked.
Do you offer medical transport?
Yes — non-emergency medical transport, focused on privacy and comfort for critical or delicate journeys. It is not an emergency service; for life-threatening emergencies, always call 000.
Can you carry urgent freight?
Yes. We move time-critical cargo — up to 325 kg — direct to regional destinations when a deadline can't be missed.
How far in advance do I need to arrange a flight?
It varies with the aircraft's availability and your route. Get in touch as early as you can and we'll do our best to make it work.
