Hardy Aviation was founded in 1991 by John Hardy. [6]

In November 2008, Hardy Aviation created a subsidiary called Fly Tiwi. [7] [8] [9]

In December 2012 Hardy Aviation and Fly Tiwi were grounded because senior pilots failed a review test. [10] Hardy Aviation was allowed to resume operations shortly after. [11] However, Hardy Aviation had to threaten legal action against Civil Aviation Safety Authority before Fly Tiwi could resume operations. [12]

In 2014, Hardy Aviation constructed new facilities at Borroloola Airport, Northern Territory. [13]

In March 2020, Hardy Aviation received financial support from the Northern Territory Government for the COVID-19 pandemic. [14]
