Glencore extends Clermont flight contract

QLD

MINING giant Glencore has extended a charter services contract with Alliance Aviation Services for its Clermont coal mine in QLD.

Alliance has been providing services to various Glencore operations since 2003, and Clermont since 2015.

The contract extension was retained through a competitive tender process, and will see Alliance continue flying for Glencore until 2021.

“We are proud of this extension as it provides great acknowledgement of our ability to provide Glencore with safe, reliable and cost effective services from Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Emerald,” Alliance chief executive Lee Schofield said.
