Rottnest's Spectacular Air Taxi

Western Australia is vast, wild and filled with hidden gems, and with charter flights from Perth, it is all closer than many expect. In under two hours, travellers can be exploring pristine beaches, outback stations, historic towns, remote airstrips, wineries and world-class nature reserves, without the long drive.

Rottnest Air Taxi is part of the Lilypad Elevate network of decarbonised, on-demand air transport solutions.

Whether it is a weekend in Margaret River, a business trip to Kalgoorlie, a scenic escape to Esperance or a custom itinerary off the beaten path, Lilypad Elevate aircraft connect travellers quickly and comfortably to the heart of regional Western Australia.

With flexible departures from Perth’s Jandakot Airport, this service goes beyond the road maps and into the real Western Australia, where the landscapes are wide, the skies are open, and the journey is just as memorable as the destination.
