History
Hardy Aviation's C47 Dakota, VH-MMA, taxis after landing at the WWII Coomalie Creek airstrip for the annual Merlin Magic night.

Hardy Aviation was founded in 1991 by John Hardy.[6]

In November 2008, Hardy Aviation created a subsidiary called Fly Tiwi.[7][8][9]

In December 2012 Hardy Aviation and Fly Tiwi were grounded because senior pilots failed a review test.[10] Hardy Aviation was allowed to resume operations shortly after.[11] However, Hardy Aviation had to threaten legal action against Civil Aviation Safety Authority before Fly Tiwi could resume operations.[12]

In 2014, Hardy Aviation constructed new facilities at Borroloola Airport, Northern Territory.[13]

In March 2020, Hardy Aviation received financial support from the Northern Territory Government for the COVID-19 pandemic.[14]

In April 2020, Hardy Aviation received financial support as part of the Australian Government's COVID-19 Regional Airline Network Support Program.[15]
