Northwest Aviation Services (NWAS)
NWAS's own Alice Springs station page (nwas.net.au/alice-springs) confirms an active Alice Springs Airport operation offering ramp operations, customer service, flight support and charter support, with Operations Manager Tony Dodds and a PO Box 430 Alice Springs NT address. The claimed ••• contact email and ••• phone number could not be found anywhere on NWAS's own site (careers, contact, or Alice Springs pages only list a head-office •••) and appear to be fabricated, so contact fields are left blank; the Virgin Australia relationship shown elsewhere on the NWAS site as a company-wide client logo is likewise not confirmed as station-specific to Alice Springs.
