Around $351.1 million worth of goods left South Australia in the bellies of aircraft over the past year, according to the first release of ABS export stats for 2026, with lobster exports alone tripling year on year to a record $137.3 million over the last 12 months.
The provider, a joint venture between LifeFlight and the Linfox Group, began operations in the state on Monday with an initial fleet of three Bell 412 helicopters. It marks the end of an era, with Rotor-Lift having operated the Westpac rescue and Ambulance Tasmania helicopters for around 25 years.
South Korea’s Land Ministry, in a report disclosed to the country’s National Assembly, said that the concrete mound supporting the localiser at Muan International Airport had failed to meet safety standards specifying it had to be breakable if located within 240 metres of the end of the runway.
More than 545 drone flights have been conducted at six new beaches over the past four months, with the program spotting more than 862 sharks in total across its 16 monitored sites. The expansion follows a successful trial by Surf Life Saving Queensland from 2020 to 2024.
Major-General (retired) Jeremy King, former Head of Joint Aviation Systems for Defence Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group, will officially assume the position in February, following a formal transition period.
Rotor-Lift, which last year lost a lucrative Tasmanian emergency medical services contract to StarFlight, put its AOC up for sale late last year, with the page indicating expressions of interest were due by Christmas Day. It is as yet unknown if there has been any interest.
