Scandinavian MediCopter is the leading EMS helicopter operator in Sweden. MediCopter is a helicopter branch of Scandinavian AirAmbulance, which is involved in airborne medical transports throughout Sweden and Finland. MediCopter has eight EMS helicopters at six bases in Sweden – Gällivare, Lycksele, Östersund, Uppsala, Stockholm (2 in the summers) and Visby, and also two bases in Finland – Oulu and Varkaus. It is operating a fleet of Eurocopter helicopters, with a majority of Dauphins and EC135s, accompanied by one EC145.

Scandinavian MediCopter (SMC) is a joint heritage of the HEMS operators Lufttransport Svenska and SOS Helikoptern Gotland. Both companies were acquired by the Swedish company Fly Partners i Luleå AB in 2007. The new organization got the name Scandinavian MediCopter in 2008, and became a subsidiary to Scandinavian AirAmbulance (SAA). In May of 2009 the main office of SMC including the maintenance moved to new facilities at Åre Östersund Airport (Frösön) just outside Östersund. The EMS helicopter remained at the Göviken Heliport in downtown Östersund. In 2010 MediCopter was awarded the EMS contract in Norrbotten. It placed a Dauphin helicopter in Gällivare in December the same year. The contract was valid for 18 months, expiring in May 2012, but it was soon renewed and replaced by a contract valid for 10 years. Scandinavian MediCopter took the step into Finland in late-2010 by taking over the EMS helicopter activity in Oulu on December 13 2010. The company took over the EMS helicopter in Varkus on February 1st 2011. By now the company had 11 helicopters in service at 8 bases throughout Sweden and Finland. In November 2011 the company was awarded a contract from FinnHEMS of three bases in Finland vaild for 10 years. In addition to the current two bases, this contract means a third new base for MediCopter located in the region of Lapland.
