About Us
Skydive Express operates a world class skydiving centre, located one hours drive east of Perth in the lush Avon Valley near the historical & tourist town of York. It capitalises on Western Australia’s great weather, un-congested airspace and open farmlands. Comprising a purpose built 1,000 m² air conditioned complex and private airfield, it includes a café, swimming pool, sauna and licensed bar. Two aircraft that are customised for skydiving and numerous parachute systems are an integral part of the business.
