About Skippers Aviation

Skippers Aviation is a regional airline based in Perth, Western Australia, specialising in charter and scheduled passenger services, particularly for remote towns and mining communities across Western Australia. They operate fly-in fly-out (FIFO) services for resource sector workers, regular public transport (RPT) routes to regional destinations, and bespoke charter flights for corporate, government, medical, and tourism clients. Bookings can typically be made via their website (skippers.com.au), corporate travel managers, or through contracted employers in the mining and resources industries.

A Skippers Aviation charge may appear on your bank or card statement when you purchase an airline ticket, pay for excess baggage, change a booking, or pay for a charter or group flight. Many passengers see charges after their employer or travel coordinator books FIFO flights in their name, or when they book directly for personal travel. You might also see additional charges for manual ticketing fees, schedule changes, last-minute bookings, or upgrades. In some cases, a small pre-authorisation or pending transaction may appear when a card is used to guarantee a booking, with the final amount posting once the ticket is fully issued.

If you’re unsure about a Skippers Aviation charge, start by checking recent and upcoming travel, especially work-related or FIFO trips, and any bookings made through a corporate travel agent. Locate e-tickets or itineraries by searching your email for “Skippers Aviation” or “skippers.com.au,” including any company or contractor emails if applicable. To resolve questions, contact Skippers Aviation via the contact details on their official website, or visit their service desk at Perth Airport or other airports they serve. Have your full name, travel dates, and the last four digits and date of the charge ready—this will help their staff locate the booking, explain the fare and any fees, and assist with refunds, corrections, or cancellations if you’re eligible under their fare rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Skippers Aviation charge on my statement when my employer booked my flights?

Skippers Aviation frequently operates fly‑in fly‑out (FIFO) and charter flights for mining and resource companies. Depending on your employer’s travel setup, flights may be charged directly to your card even if your company arranged the booking. Check with your payroll or travel coordinator, and review any travel itineraries or rosters you’ve received for upcoming site visits or shifts.

What are typical Skippers Aviation charge amounts for tickets and extras?

Ticket prices vary by route and how far in advance you book, but regional one‑way fares commonly range from around AUD $150–$500 or more, depending on demand and fare type. You may also see separate smaller charges for booking or change fees, seat or baggage upgrades, or airport-issued tickets. If the amount looks unusual, compare it with the fare quote or invoice from your booking confirmation.

Why is there a small or duplicate Skippers Aviation transaction (pending or $0–$5) on my card?

Skippers Aviation or their payment processor may place a small pre‑authorisation hold on your card to verify the payment method when a booking is created or changed. These pending amounts are not final charges and should drop off automatically within a few business days. The final ticketed fare, including any taxes and fees, will appear as a separate posted transaction on your statement.

How do I change or cancel a Skippers Aviation booking and stop future charges?

Changes and cancellations depend on the fare conditions of your ticket and whether your flight was booked directly or through your employer or a travel agent. For direct bookings, go to skippers.com.au and use their booking management options or contact their reservations team using the phone number or contact form listed on the site. If your ticket was arranged through your company or a corporate travel agent, you usually must request changes or cancellations through that channel, following your employer’s travel policy.

How can I request a refund or credit from Skippers Aviation for a charge I don’t recognise or a cancelled flight?

Refunds are governed by the fare rules on your ticket—some discounted fares are non‑refundable but may allow credits or changes with a fee. If you believe you were charged in error, first confirm whether any travel was taken or is scheduled under your name, then contact Skippers Aviation with your booking reference, flight details, and proof of the charge. You can start a refund or enquiry request using the contact information on skippers.com.au, and they will advise whether you are eligible for a refund, credit, or name/date change instead.

How do Skippers Aviation subscriptions or recurring charges work—are there any ongoing fees?

Skippers Aviation does not typically operate on a consumer subscription model; most customers are charged per flight ticket or charter service. However, frequent or recurring charges can occur if you travel regularly on FIFO rosters or have multiple bookings made in advance. Review your upcoming flight schedule and email confirmations to match each charge to a specific trip date and route.

What should I do if I don’t recognise a Skippers Aviation charge and I haven’t flown recently?

First, verify that no one in your household or company used your card to book travel, and search your email (including work accounts) for any Skippers Aviation confirmations. If you still don’t recognise the transaction, contact Skippers Aviation with the transaction date, amount, and the name on the card so they can check their booking system. If they cannot locate a matching booking or you suspect fraud, immediately contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge and request a new card.

How can I contact Skippers Aviation about a billing or payment issue?

Visit skippers.com.au and navigate to their Contact or Reservations section for the most current phone numbers and online enquiry options. You can typically reach them via a reservations or customer service phone line during business hours, submit a web enquiry form, or speak to staff at their Perth Airport or regional airport counters. Providing your booking reference, travel dates, and a screenshot or statement snippet of the charge will help them resolve your issue more quickly.
