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.

Swedish Armed Forces Helicopter Wing
The Helicopter Wing is a joint helicopter unit in the Swedish Armed Forces. The detachment is subordinated the Air Force but serves the Army, Navy and Air Force equally. The wing is designated Försvarsmaktens Helikopterflottilj in Swedish, or simply Helikopterflottiljen (Hkpflj).

The headquarter of the unit is located at the Malmslätt Air Station in Linköping. Its organization consists of four bases spread throughout three squadrons:
1.hkpskv at F21 Kallax (Luleå)
2.hkpskv at Malmslätt (Linköping)
3.hkpskv at F7 Såtenäs (Lidköping) and F17 Kallinge (Ronneby)

Fleet The Helicopter Wing is in the middle of a renewal process, where old already retired helicopters are being replaced by new types. There are currently nine Super Pumas (HKP 10) and twenty Agusta 109LUHs (HKP 15) in service. A total of eighteen NH90s (HKP 14) have been ordered, and a handful have been delivered this far. Fifteen UH-60M Black Hawks (HKP 16) have also been ordered. The first delivery took place in December 2011, and the last delivery is expected in mid 2013.

International operations From the morning of April 2, 2011, Sweden has one Helicopter Unit assigned to the ISAF operations (International Security Assistance Force) in Afghanistan. The first unit consisted of two HKP 10B Super Puma helicopters and their associated staff. The Super Pumas were replaced by four HKP 16 Black Hawks at the end of March 2013. The Swedish Black Hawks will be operating out of Camp Marmal in Afghanistan until 2016.

Two HKP 15Bs are deployed at "Operation Atalanta" in the Gulf of Aden between April 2013 to August 2013. The helicopters are operating together with the patrol vessel HMS Carlskrona.

Available photos of retired fleet membersThese are the retired individuals that we have in the photo gallery. They are not necessary all retired military helicopters since we lack images of some of them. The individuals are either withdrawn from service as the result of a planned retirement or due to an unfortunate accident (hence the presence of still active types).
