Aviation, Aerospace, Maritime, Transport and Logistics

    Road, rail, air, and sea transport are vital to the Northern Territory due to our characteristic isolation. Transport and logistics are the enablers for all other parts of the economy, including freighting goods, transporting passengers, and courier services for pickups and delivery. The supporting infrastructure requires licensing, and safety regulations ensure businesses continue to operate as usual.
