We capture aerial photography across Australia, using crewed aircraft and our Phase One 280i and Leica RCD30 airborne sensor systems:
We capture vertical and oblique aerial imagery across Australia, using:
Spatial Imagery Services Program (SISP)
Landair Surveys captured over 2,000 square kilometres of high resolution aerial imagery across 40 Queensland towns and 8 central islands.
Statewide Planned Burns
Landair Surveys supported the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) by capturing high resolution aerial imagery of planned burn sites across the Gippsland and Barwon South West regions.

How we capture your aerial surveying data
Top 5 tips for spatial services
Capture detailed and highly accurate data across larger areas and at higher altitudes – using a stable twin-engine aircraft equipped with advanced cameras and sensor technology.
Your quality data outcomes
Orthophoto mosaics
Distortion-free, geometrically correct aerial imagery foundational for accurate GIS integration, mapping, and asset registers. It aligns seamlessly with other spatial layers.
Digital elevation models
Provide essential elevation data for applications from land-use planning and flood modelling to environmental conservation.
Volume calculations
Perform volume calculations between different surfaces, for mining volumes, land movement analysis, and environmental monitoring and planning.
Multi-band orthomosaics
Enable vegetation and environmental monitoring and mapping, biodiversity mapping, and carbon accounting.

“Landair do what they say they will. When they mobilise to a site, they’re there until the work is done. I can’t remember a time they’ve missed a project status report. They make themselves available when we need them.”
Spatial Imagery Coordinator at the Department of Resources (Queensland)
“Some companies take on too much work at once and are too busy when things go wrong or are delayed. Not Landair. They’re open and transparent, putting in the quality responses to quotes and getting the work done well.”

FAQs
We use a large format sensor to reduce the amount of time required to capture imagery, which minimises risks due to unsuitable weather and changing sun angles over the area. Our team always plans for redundancy timeframes to allow for weather, air traffic and aircraft maintenance delays.
Our processing contingencies include: Hiring additional licenses of our software, SimActive Correlator3D. Adding additional human resources to your project. Ensuring that all available computer workstations are processing your images 24/7, with our remote access software. Keeping you constantly updated with weekly progress reports.
We understand that government organisations have very specific data storage and requirements sharing requirements. For that reason, your scanning data: Is not stored in the cloud. It is kept securely on our servers in the short term. Is owned by you, not us. We do not ‘rent’ your data back to you. Is transferred to you and then removed as required from our servers.
