Statement from Coulson Group CEO Wayne Coulson
One of our 737 FireLiner’s, Tanker 139, operating in Western Australia, was involved in an accident while tasked to a fire on Monday, 6 February 2023.
The aircraft had two on board at the time of the accident.
Both pilots walked away from the accident, and have been medically assessed. Our thoughts and our immediate concern is for those team members and their families.
We are very grateful the two team members on Tanker 139 are safe.
We are offering all the support we can to our local and international crews. We’re also grateful for the support being provided by our firefighting and aviation industry colleagues in Western Australia.
