OUR CULTURE.
Western Air's culture has been shaped for over five decades in the field, under pressure in harsh environments, and alongside the people who keep the drilling and mining industries moving. Today, those values are sharpened and modernized with a renewed sense of purpose.
Western Air's CEO, Carly Ascott, has reshaped Western Air with a bold, future-focused vision that reflects both her leadership style and her commitment to innovation.
As one of the few 100% female owners of an OEM manufacturer in Australia, Carly brings a fresh values-driven perspective to an industry long defined by tradition.
