Important notice!
Make sure that the company you choose has a valid approval issued by the Transport Agency.

Click here for more info If you are going for a taxi- or a sightseeing flight, make sure that the company you choose has a valid JAR-OPS 3 approval issued by the Swedish Transport Agency. The company will also need an Operating License (OL) if the flight is going to be other than local. The authority has no public lists with approved JAR-OPS 3 operators, but they have two lists over companies with valid OLs (click here and here).

Aerial works
Pure aerial works companies do not need the approvals mentioned above - they can operate with a national aerial work permit (LFS 2007:49). However, the most JAR-OPS 3 operators have an aerial work section included in their approvals. There are no public lists with all these operators, but we have them listed here. Call the Transport Agency (+46 771 503 503) to verify their validity.

F:a Fjällflyg Bröderna Granqvist (retired)

This page was last modified on 6 July 2011 | click to edit

F:a Fjällflyg was established by the Granqvist brothers in Kiruna back in 1970. Knut “Knutte” Hedström had already a company named AB Fjällflyg in Gällivare, some 80 km away, so he changed the name of his company to Norrlandsflyg (which would grow to become Sweden’s largest helicopter operator for a period of time).

The Granquist brothers bought their first Hughes 300 in 1970, which was quickly followed by two more in 1971. The fleet was eventually expanded by three Hughes 500s throughout the 70s.

The company operated in the deep mountain world in northern Sweden for 12 years before it was transformed into HB Fjällflyg in 1982, Fjällflyg i Kiruna in 1984 and a part of Heli AB in 1987.
