Defence, security and aviation technology group Cobham has won a six-year extension to its 'Fly-in Fly out' (FIFO) services contract with energy company Santos to the remote Cooper Basin area in southern Australia.
The contract, which now runs until 2018, is valued at over 50m Australian dollars (£31.5m). It will see Avro 99-seater RJ100 jets fly weekly from Adelaide to Santos's gas facilities at Moomva and Ballera, 800km north-east of Adelaide.

The RJ100 jet, the fifth in Cobhams FIFO sleet of 20 aircraft, is said to be "ideally suited to the harsh conditions of the Australian outback due to its robust construction and exceptional hot weather performance capabilities."
