Does anyone know anything about the VIP AVIATION GROUP that is often seen operating in Melbourne and Sydney?

They are very discreet and when i try and take a photo they get security to move me on and at times the federal police meet the aircraft and black suv's pickup passengers and they are that discreet they have no logos or markings on the aircraft or there uniforms and the asics are casa issued.

I have looked them up everywhere but cannot find any information about the company or what they do, I have seen a gulfstream and a global express at both Melbourne and Sydney.

But as mentioned crews are highly discreet in plain clothes with no logos nothing. I only know the company name as i heard the federal police talking but when I asked they said its classified and then told me to move away and put my camera away.

Must say the crew look like there in the late twentys or early 30's.

I believe the company is Melbourne Based, as the cops were saying there head office is not far away but they also have an office overseas.

Sorry about spelling hate using touch screens.

Hi Jayden

I could not see any on the Gulfstream thats what made me curious. But I think the Global Express had a non Australian rego.

Yer there would have been one I just dident see it,I reckon it was being obscured by the cars.

I was over near execujet, but have seen the aircraft parked in various areas

Hey,

Spoke to a few people today and found out about this, I did get the company name wrong though and forgot what I was told they're called.

The company is owned by a 32 year old who used to work with Jetstar in Melbourne. They operate a Gulfstream 5 and a Global Express.

They do a lot of international VIP work and also a lot of work for various hospitals. The hospital work is flying the transplant teams around, so that would explain the police escort as they need to remove the organ not long after donor has died and get it back to the one having the transplant.

I also believe they do long range air survellience and maybe some work for the immigration department and possible prisoner transfers.

Hope this helps
