Sydney’s First Seaplane Flight

Photograph at the Sydney’s First Seaplane Flight Memorial

Sydney Seaplanes, a domestic and charter carrier in the Sydney area, is Australia's largest seaplane operator, conducting hundreds of weekly flights during peak tourist seasons. Established in August 2006 through the merger of Sydney Harbour Seaplanes, Seaplane Safaris, Southern Cross Seaplanes, and two other operators, the company was founded and is managed by Aaron Shaw. Initially operating with one aircraft, Sydney Seaplanes has expanded in response to the growing Asian tourist market and VIP leisure travel.
