Mount Cook Ski Planes & Helicopters is a Kiwi owned and operated aviation business founded in 1955 and based at Aoraki Mount Cook Airport inside Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park. With 70 years of operations, it was the original aviation operator in the region and holds Qualmark Gold and CarbonZero certifications.
Its core product is scenic flights by both ski plane and helicopter, including year-round ski-plane landings on the Tasman Glacier — described by the operator as the Southern Hemisphere's only year-round ski-plane glacier landings. Packages range from short Tasman Taster flights through to multi-hour Grand Circle trips, glacier picnics, Tasman Glacier heli-hikes, private charters, weddings and mountain transfers for hunting and climbing parties.
