Anyone planning to use Barrier Aviation for birding trips to the Gulf, Cape York and Torres Strait, may have to re-think their plans. CASA has withdrawn Barriers operating certificate and, in effect, permanently grounded them. See http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-03-14/safety-probe-permanently-grounds-barrier-aviation/4572114

Their website still says “A CASA approved testing officer is on staff, ensuring all our staff and flight crew maintain the very high levels of safety and professionalism that our clients have come to expect from us.” and makes no mention of the grounding – obviously they do not want to face reality!
