Avtex Air Services Pty Ltd, trading as Airtex Aviation,〔(CASA website link to Airtex Aviation Air Operator Certificate. ) Retrieved: 5 December 2008. 〕 was an Australian aircraft charter company with its head office at Bankstown Airport, Sydney.〔("Location Map" ). Airtex Aviation. Retrieved on 26 June 2010.〕 Formed in 1982, the company operates passenger air charter services, airfreight, as well as air search and rescue services. On 20 July 2010 the Civil Aviation Safety Authority suspended the operator certificates of Avtex and its sister company ''Skymaster Air Services'', which run the organisation's piston engines operation, after a crash on an Airtex aircraft in Canley Vale in western Sydney which caused two deaths. A number of other serious incidents in the time prior to the accident had been taken in consideration for this decision. Further enquiries found that "pilot bullying, deliberate rule breaking and corner cutting were amongst the unsafe practices". After the matter has run its course by February 2011, Avtex and Skymaster were left without further recourse against the suspension of their air operator's certificates and had to cease operations.〔''(Two Sydney based air operators suspended )'', Civil Aviation Safety Authority, 24 July 2010.〕〔Ben Sandilands: ''(Tribunal publishes indictment of general aviation operator )'', crikey.com, 9 February 2011.〕 ==Fleet== As of December 2009, the Airtex fleet consists of:〔(Australian civil aircraft register search ), using "Avtex" as the search parameter.
