Skyline Aviation

Established in 1988 by our founding director Mike Toogood, the Skyline Healthcare Group has evolved to become New Zealand’s most capable and most respected air ambulance and specialised air charter operators, reaching all New Zealand corners into the South Pacific and beyond.

The group of companies is proudly owned by New Zealanders, including iwi and superannuation funds such as KiwiSaver. This ownership structure brings with it deep values, long-term vision, and strong alignment with our national interest. It enables access to significant capital, allowing us to continue investing in people, technology, and infrastructure to support sustained growth. It also ensures robust corporate governance, driven by a shared commitment to excellence, accountability, and innovation across all levels of our business.

From our humble beginnings in the air rescue and air ambulance sector in 1992, we have pioneered introducing the latest technology jet air ambulances into the domestic and international arena. The Skyline group are clear leaders in this market.

Our fleet of beautifully appointed jets and King Air turboprop aircraft, complete with leading-edge avionics and specialist aeromedical fit-out, has set the new standard.

Our sustainability and ability to grow and continue our business investment have come about through our relentless pursuit of excellence in safety and uncompromised attention to service delivery.

Through owning and operating the most respected global brands of aircraft, to employing the most capable team of pilots, engineers, parts and logistics staff, mission coordinators, quality and safety staff, loadmasters, operations management, charter management, financial administrators and medical directors, we have built a 30-year reputation for dependability, quality and safety.

The Group now consists of the New Zealand Air Ambulance Service Ltd, MedAssist NZ, Skyline AeroMaintenance and Jet Charters NZ.

With over 50,000 patients and clients safely transported domestically and globally, the Skyline Group is one of aviation’s most trusted names.
