Skyline does all the air ambulance work for the HBDHB with the C421 ZK-MFT, and PA-31 ZK-LWN, sponsored by Lowe Corporation. Navajo was owned by Skyline but crewed by Air Hawkes Bay until things got a bit messy with AHB using the 3rd year diploma students to do some of the flying, then Skyline went on their own, and expanded their Rescue Helicopter operations to include the fixed wing.

Not sure if they lease the hangar space anymore or if they have built their own.

AirHB may still do the Doctor's run to Wairoa in the PA-34 I's and III but that's about it. Shame, cos it was a great job 3 yrs ago... wouldn't hesitate to go back and work for Mike Toogood and the Skyline organisation, very good outfit.
