Polarhelikopter

Polarhelikopter was established by two persons in Kiruna (the most northern based helicopter company in Sweden) in 1993. It was a result of Heliflyg’s decision to close its activity in the region, which left a lot of potential costumers looking for a new operator. The activity took off with one Hughes 500 and landed with two EC120s within ten years. The company was purchased by Kiruna Flyg in Jan2016
– [Kallax Flyg was established by the Stenvall family back in 1998. The company is a subsidiary of Stenvalls Trä AB, which is a large Swedish wood company. Kallax Flyg initiated its operations with a Cessna 421, but it soon expanded into the helicopter segment by purchasing a Schweizer 269C in 1999. Kallax Flyg purchased Kiruna Flyg in 2001, and it got its first AS350 through the acquisition. The deal also included the Kurravaara helicopter base moments north of Kiruna. In early 2004 Kallax Flyg purchased the deeply rooted company Norrlandsflyg’s utility segment in northern Sweden. Kallax Flyg purchased the Kiruna based Polarhelikopter and its two helicopters in 2005. The deal included the seasonal base in Abisko. In July 2015 Kallax Flyg purchased all the stocks in Westhelicopter. Kallax Flyg operates in Norway through its subsidiary Kallaxflyg AS, which has bases in Alta and Tana
