History

Hardy Aviation's C47 Dakota, VH-MMA, taxis after landing at the WWII Coomalie Creek airstrip for the annual Merlin Magic night.

Hardy Aviation was founded in 1991 by John Hardy.

In November 2008, Hardy Aviation created a subsidiary called Fly Tiwi.

In December 2012 Hardy Aviation and Fly Tiwi were grounded because senior pilots failed a review test. Hardy Aviation was allowed to resume operations shortly after. However, Hardy Aviation had to threaten legal action against Civil Aviation Safety Authority before Fly Tiwi could resume operations.

In 2014, Hardy Aviation constructed new facilities at Borroloola Airport, Northern Territory.

In March 2020, Hardy Aviation received financial support from the Northern Territory Government for the COVID-19 pandemic.

In April 2020, Hardy Aviation received financial support as part of the Australian Government's COVID-19 Regional Airline Network Support Program.
