Fire suppression, air attack, mapping and crew transfer
\n\n\n\n
Kennedy Air Ag provide SEATs (single engine air tankers), helicopter bucketing and both fixed wing and helicopter air attack and mapping platforms to State and Federal Government agencies. Our aircraft are supported by tankers for Jet A-1 and retardant/suppressant; allowing us to provide a complete aerial fire fighting solution from any location.
\n\n\n\n
Supporting government firefighting agencies and volunteer organisations, we have been able to provide safe, efficient and effective aerial fire suppression services over a wide range of bushlands, coastal heath, alpine mountains and grasslands in the rugged Australian landscape.
\n\n\n\n
All aircraft are equipped with computer-controlled load delivery systems (also known as "Bomb Doors") which can split it into several loads. Our experienced pilots can also select the coverage level of suppressant via the cockpit interface computer to provide the most effective use of product for the particular fire situation.
\n\n\n\n
As part of providing contracted services to both State and Federal Government agencies, our aircraft have had to pass rigorous auditing processes and achieve near flawless dispatch reliabilities. We are always striving to surpass the benchmarks set by our contracting agencies to provide a safe, efficient and effective service.
