A 42-year-old Rockhampton aviation company operator, Grant Schultz, has been arrested by federal police and charged with organising a 'black flight' operation to smuggle two fugitives out of Australia. The sophisticated scheme involved multiple charter flights across New South Wales and far North Queensland before the fugitives boarded a secret flight to Indonesia. Both fugitives have been detained in South Papua, along with two alleged co-pilots, while Schultz has been granted bail to return to court in June.
