    Get ready for the ultimate FIFO flight experience with VATPAC! We're bringing the laughs and the air miles as we whisk you away to Australia's Pilbara-Kimberley region on the first and third Thursday of every month. You won't believe your eyes when you see the red deserts that are so red, they make Elmo blush! And let's not forget those extraordinary rock formations that'll have you saying, "Who needs abstract art when nature's got it covered?"

    But that's not all! We've got beautiful reefs that are so stunning, even the fish have started a modelling career. So hop on board and join us on 22nd of February 2024, because we're opening up the stunning interior of Australia like never before. Our regional airfields are the gateway to connecting communities and sharing the joy of FIFO flights. Plus, with connections to Perth and Darwin, you'll have the chance to feel like a mining magnate or an adventure-seeking tourist. Just remember, no gold digging on the flight, folks!

    Mark your calendars and set your alarm clocks because this adventure takes place between 0900z-1200z (1900-2200 AEST; 1700-2000 AWST). You don't want to miss the hilarity, the sights, and the chance to discover Australia's hidden gems. So fasten your seatbelts, stow away your fear of puns, and get ready for the funniest FIFO flight of your life!

     

    Airport of the Week:

    One of the most thrilling elements of FIFO Downunder is our "Airport of the Week" feature. We've cooked up an exciting twist to keep you on your toes! Each event, we will reveal a series of clues to the selected airport, challenging your aviation knowledge and geographical instincts. Prepare to put your detective skills to the test!

    The first three pilots to successfully decipher the clues and arrive at the designated airport will earn valuable points. Throughout a span of 6 months, we'll tally up the points, creating an exhilarating leaderboard where champions rise to the top. And that's not all – the pilot who reigns supreme at the end of the 6-month period will receive an incredible prize, and ultimate bragging rights of course!

We're bringing the laughs and the air miles as we whisk you away to Australia's Pilbara-Kimberley region on the first and third Thursday of every month. You won't believe your eyes when you see the red deserts that are so red, they make Elmo blush! And let's not forget those extraordinary rock formations that'll have you saying, "Who needs abstract art when nature's got it covered?"

    But that's not all! We've got beautiful reefs that are so stunning, even the fish have started a modeling career. So hop on board and join us on 21st of September, 2023, because we're opening up the stunning interior of Australia like never before. Our regional airfields are the gateway to connecting communities and sharing the joy of FIFO flights. Plus, with connections to Perth and Darwin, you'll have the chance to feel like a mining magnate or an adventure-seeking tourist. Just remember, no gold digging on the flight, folks!

    Mark your calendars and set your alarm clocks because this adventure takes place between 0900z-1200z (1900-2200 AEST; 1700-2000 AWST). You don't want to miss the hilarity, the sights, and the chance to discover Australia's hidden gems. So fasten your seatbelts, stow away your fear of puns, and get ready for the funniest FIFO flight of your life!

     

    Airport of the Week:

    One of the most thrilling elements of FIFO Downunder is our "Airport of the Week" feature. We've cooked up an exciting twist to keep you on your toes! Each event, we will reveal a series of clues to the selected airport, challenging your aviation knowledge and geographical instincts. Prepare to put your detective skills to the test!

    The first three pilots to successfully decipher the clues and arrive at the designated airport will earn valuable points. Throughout a span of 6 months, we'll tally up the points, creating an exhilarating leaderboard where champions rise to the top. And that's not all – the pilot who reigns supreme at the end of the 6-month period will receive an incredible prize, and ultimate bragging rights of course!
