Mount Cook Aerodrome (IATA: MON, ICAO: NZMC) is an airport near Mount Cook Village, New Zealand. Mount Cook Tourist Company built a small airfield at Birch Hill Flat, which opened on 3 May 1936.[1] Mount Cook Airline began scheduled passenger flights to the area in 1961.[2] Regular commercial flights originally ceased in 2002, however from 23 December 2012 to 27 January 2013, Air New Zealand subsidiary Mount Cook Airline operated thrice weekly services from Mount Cook to Christchurch and Queenstown. Air New Zealand decided not to resume the services for the 2013/2014 summer due to a lack of demand. In December 2019, Mount Cook Airline was merged into Air New Zealand and ceased operations.[3]
