In Kakadu, most scenic flights are operated in Gippsland Airvans. Purchased new from the Gippsland factory, these Australian-built aircraft were designed for outback utility work and a credible alternative to the aging Cessna range of similar-sized aircraft; at this time, they are regarded as simply the best light aircraft available worldwide from which to conduct aerial surveillance and scenic flights. At times, a fourteen seat turbine powered Cessna Caravan aircraft can be used for scenic flights.

The Operator uses light aircraft, so take-off weight is a safety issue. They need approximate weights so they don't fly overweight or compromise safety.
