Nantay Pty. Ltd., trading as Maroomba Airlines since 1998, is a small airline and air charter company based in Perth, Western Australia. Founded in 1985 as Maroomba Aviation, then renamed Maroomba Air Services in 1997, the airline operates ad hoc charter services around Western Australia.
It currently operates fly-in fly-out mining charter contracts and also operates a Beechcraft Super King Air and a Hawker 850XP business jet on behalf of the Western Australian government for ministerial transport around the state.
