Worland Aviation
Worland Aviation is Australia’s only aircraft painting facility, housed in Townsville Airport’s Northern Australian Aerospace Centre of Excellence (NAACEX). Worland Aviation provides aircraft painting and maintenance services for all aircraft up to a B737 and A320 size.
Excellence in Aircraft Refurbishment
Worland Aviation is North Queensland’s one-stop-shop for aircraft maintenance and is the latest aviation-support business to become part of the QAL Group. QAL assumed 100 per cent ownership of Worland Aviation in 2009.
Boasting 21 years experience in aircraft maintenance and repair, Worland Aviation Pty Ltd is the home of quality aircraft refurbishment and repairs, where the most modern and up to date technology is used to achieve the highest standards of workmanship.
Worland Aviation’s highly trained technicians perform maintenance duties from minor and major repairs to extensive aircraft rebuilds for key regional airlines, along with avionics repairs and installations, specialised engineering services and an extensive range of manufactured aircraft parts and accessories.
A point of difference since its integration into Worland Aviation in 1999 is a Starch Media Depaint System (SMDS), which is the only one of its type and the only Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) approved system in operation within Australia.
With a vision to be Asia Pacific’s complete aircraft maintenance facility, Worland Aviation’s key markets include full service and low cost carriers, emergency services, private jet and charter operations, regional airlines, and defence and government contracts.
Worland Aviation was established in Benalla, Victoria in 1989 before relocating to Albury Airport in 1993. The business was originally set up as a maintenance company, specialising in aircraft painting. With a view to grow the business even further and attract a higher level customer base, Worland Aviation relocated to Townsville Airport’s NAACEX precinct in 2007.
Thirty-four people are employed by Worland Aviation in roles including:
- Licensed aircraft engineers
- Specialist aircraft painters
- Aircraft maintenance engineers
- Trade assistants
Aircraft Painting
At Worland Aviation the aim is to refinish aircraft to an ‘as new’ state, using the latest technology, equipment and materials. The Worland Aviation hangar can house aircraft up to a Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 size. All aircraft preparation and painting is carried out inside the hanger in a clean, dry, dust free, environment to ensure a quality finish to add prestige and value to all aircraft.
Townsville’s low humidity and average temperature of 27 degrees makes it one of the most attractive locations for aircraft painting in South East Asia.
