Arctic Air is a well-experienced company with its heart in the idyllic Vuoggatjålme tourism station in the deep mountain world west of Arjeplog, right on the arctic circle. The company is focused in tourism, shuttle traffic and various aerial work operations in the region. It is engaged in a partnership with Norrhelikopter, which is subordinated as a separate division in Vilhelmina, Klimpfjäll and Grillby. Norrhelikopter is focused in a wide range of operations - including sling-load operations, tourism and reindeer mustering.

Arctic Air started as HB Fjällfrakt (later Fjällfrakt i Arjeplog) back in 1977. It was initially targeting various segments of transportation in the mountain world (including helicopters and seaplanes), but in 1989 the company changed name to Arctic Air and focused wholehearted in the helicopter operation. In April of 2011 Norrhelikopter teamed up with Arctic Air to form a subbranch of the company. Norrhelikopter had just been established by the previous co-owners of Flygtjänst o Helikoptertransport. It was incorporated as a separate division of Arctic Air, with bases in Vilhelmina, Klimpfjäll and Grillby. The fleet grew rapidly through the integration of Norrhelikopter - two Schweizer 300s, two MD500s and a Long Ranger were added to the fleet within a year. In April 2012 Arctic Air added a Long Ranger (SE-JOA) to support its Vuoggatjålme Jet Ranger (SE-HKK). Later the same spring Arctic Air purchased Lapplandsflyg's operation in Kvikkjokk, including its hangar. Arctic Air inherited the shuttle route between Kvikkjokk-Staloluokta-Ritsem and the local operations in the region. The deal was a result of Lapplandsflyg's retirement in the spring of 2012.
