Our team is really what sets us apart. Each member of our team encapsulates Air Adventure’s passion to revolutionise the way people get to golf, putting the world’s best courses within easy reach.

John grew up in country Victoria where his first exposure to golf was out in the back paddock with his mum’s driver. From there a love of the game grew but not much has changed to his form. Flying has been a big part of John’s life since he was a boy, with many flights with his father around outback Australia. This led to John getting his own license and taking the reins at Air Adventure in 2006. He is passionate about enriching people’s lives by transforming the way they experience remote Australia, of which Tasmanian golf is a very important aspect of.
Jon grew up in the golf industry with his father designing golf courses around the world with Peter Thomson. After starting his professional career in Collins St, Jon moved full time in to the golf industry in 2009. Over the past 10 years Jon has worked in various roles across the industry and began with Air Adventure in 2016 after taking a group of his clients to King Island with Air Adventure. He was blown away by how spectacular the courses were and wanted to help others experience such an amazing place. He has a great passion for golf and is also having a lot of fun introducing his 5 year old Ollie to the game.
Heidi is native to King Island and has a strong background in tourism and hospitality having operated King Island’s premier visitor accommodation, restaurant and also Isle Inspired Produce Provider. She also plays a major role in local community, tourism organisations and events held on King Island. Heidi’s friendly personality and passion for where she lives is clearly evident as soon as you meet her. Our guests consistently praise Heidi for her friendliness, professionalism and support.
Lyndal joined the our team in 2020 and brought with her over 12 years in the travel industry working with entertainment clients, managing group travel and logistics for A-List celebrities and elite sporting groups. Her attention to detail and organisational skills are seriously impressive, which makes her the perfect fit for managing the operations side of Air Adventure. In her spare time Lyndal enjoys volunteering, rocking out at a gig and of course travelling! She loves a short getaway along the Great Ocean Road and plans to one day do “The Big Lap” around Australia.
Originally from Sydney, Alyson has always had a love of sport and travel. Having travelled the world extensively it has been a dream come true for her to be able to combine travel with her professional marketing skills.
Helen is our wonderful Accounts Manager who keeps the wheels of finance going. Her attention to detail is next level and she joined the Air Adventure team with year’s experience working in various accounts roles. Not surprisingly she also loves to travel, she plays golf every week and loves spending time with her family.
Aviation is an integral part of transforming the way that people get to golf. This is why experience matters so much to us.
When flying high performance aircraft, skilled hands at the controls is extremely important. All pilots are highly skilled commercial captains, with vast amounts of remote operations experience, but on top of that they are also great blokes to be around and will ensure your dream golf trip becomes a reality (with smooth landings).
Rob started flying 17 years ago after a long career in hospitality management and as the owner of a garden design and landscape business. Rob has accumulated over 4000 hours flying in various aircraft types and operations throughout Australia. Rob is passionate about food, wine, the Richmond Football Club and providing an exceptional customer experience for his passengers.
Jonathan has a lifetime of aviation experience. His formative years were often spent flying with his parents around Australia in small, single-engine aircraft so it was natural enough for him to do his Private Licence while at Uni. Jono now has over 9,000 hours of charter flying across Australia, New Zealand, PNG and East Timor.
