John-Paul Thorbjornsen flew the seven-seater helicopter home from the UK in a 41-day journey spanning 10,000 nautical miles, making 39 stops across 21 countries along the way.

The cause of the crash of the Coulson Aviation-operated 737 air tanker, which occurred during firefighting activities on 6 February, has not yet been identified in the ATSB’s preliminary report.

The twice-weekly five-hour flights on Boeing 737 aircraft will operate between Tullamarine and Learmonth Airports from now until October, with a total of more than 18,000 seats to be made available over the tourist season.
