ABOUT 'A KUBE AVIATION'
The company
Andrew Kube started A.Kube Aviation Pty Ltd in August 2013. He is the owner of the Company.
This company has a partnership with ‘Wrightsair’ from William Creek. Wrightsair's 35 years of experience in the outback add valuable knowledge to this burgeoning flying business. The AOC is under 'LA & AM Matthews' - C 5903012
The history
The Kube family has a rich aviation heritage. Andrew’s father (Don) became interested in flying as he attended school and boarded in Nhill (1942 – 45) during the war years.
Don flew most of his life and Andrew was always an eager passenger whenever possible. They flew together in Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland and South Australia. So before he obtained his licence in 1996, he had seen vast areas of Australia from the air.
Andrew learned to fly while living in Mount Isa in North West Queensland. He was working in education and used his piloting skills as he worked amongst the remote Indigenous and station communities.
In 2011 a Cessna 210 was purchased. It was imported from USA – flown over the Pacific Ocean by the legendary Jim Hazleton. It’s a 1980 model with very low airframe hours with an updated engine and avionics upgrades, which make it an ideal touring aircraft.
In Dec 2012 Andrew’s family left outback Qld and returned to the family farm near Jeparit in Victoria’s Wimmera. Andrew had accrued over 1000 hours flying in outback conditions and then in early 2013 obtained his Commercial Pilot's licence with Hugh Brownlee from the Wimmera Aero Club. Shortly after Andrew formed a partnership with ‘Wrightsair’ from William Creek and is working under their Air Operator's Certificate.
The mission
“I’m following a passion and love for flying that I would love to share with others. From the air everything looks different and your perspective changes. Flying is a safe, relaxing way to travel long distances and an interesting way to see from the air familiar sights that you have seen from the ground.”
What does A Kube Aviation bring to the Aviation industry? “We bring generations of aviation experience, people skills and an appreciation of all that our early flying pioneers have done to make aviation the incredibly safe industry that it is today".
We are also a company that flies Carbon Neutral. All of our flights are offset with Carbon Credits
