Fly My Sky
Fly My Sky, formerly Mountain Air, is a small airline based in Auckland, New Zealand. It operates between Auckland and Great Barrier Island. The company is owned by Keith and Robyn McKenzie.
History
Mountain Air originally began to develop its aeroplane division in 1988, using a Cessna 172 and 206 to conduct scenic flights over the Tongariro National Park. The company established an airstrip on a high country sheep station airfield at the base of the active volcano, Mount Ruapehu. Recently passengers have had the added attraction of viewing sites in the Park where filming for the The Lord of the Rings film trilogy took place.
Two Britten Norman Islanders and two Piper Aztec aircraft were added to the fleet and services extended to provide New Zealand wide charter. Schedule services were developed to provide several flights a day between Auckland International Airport, Whangarei and Great Barrier Island in the Hauraki Gulf in 1998. Special window kits have been put into the two Islander aircraft to provide more windows so passengers can see more. Two more Britten-Norman Islander aircraft have been added to the fleet in 2006 & 2007.
