Australian-owned defence and intelligence business Omni has announced the expansion of its Perth operations with a new aerospace hangar facility.
The new facility doubles Omni’s footprint in Jandakot, creating opportunities for additional employment as the company continues to support the Commonwealth and Western Australian government’s contracts.
The enhanced presence is expected to support Omni’s continued national growth and highlights Western Australia’s increasing importance as a hub for national security and critical infrastructure.
The company’s partnership with Wedgetail Academy, Australia’s leading large category beyond visual line of sight drone company and a co-tenant at the new facility, demonstrates Omni’s desire to be involved in leading edge aviation advancement. The new facility will also be where Omni provides the Pilatus Satellite Service Centre for Western Australia.
Omni’s founder and chief executive, Jon Hawkins, emphasised that the new hangar represents the company’s deep commitment to bolstering sovereign capabilities in Australia.
“Omni recognises Western Australia’s pivotal role within our national security ecosystem, and we are excited to strengthen our presence in Perth,” Hawkins said.
“As a veteran-owned and operated business, Omni was founded on the principle that Australian companies must actively contribute to delivering and sustaining national security and critical infrastructure projects domestically.
“With increasing global instability and heightened national security challenges, investing in Australian-made capabilities is more crucial than ever. Perth will play a vital role in achieving these objectives and our Jandakot hangar positions Omni to play a leading role in supporting critical projects nationally and in the region.”
The Jandakot hangar will complement Omni’s existing specialist facilities in the ACT and Queensland, further enhancing its ability to deliver high-impact projects across the nation.
