Shoal Air commenced operations in 2002. Its main base is at Kununurra Airport (KNX/YPKU) with a satellite "dry season" base at Kalumburu .
In early 2013 Shoal Air acquired the majority assets of the former Alligator Airways in Kununurra, including 6 aircraft and adjoining hangars and offices. The expanded fleet and facilities enabled the launch of a new brand - Kingfisher Tours - and subsequent growth in scenic tour operations.
