Arlanda Helicopter

Arlanda Helicopter is a Swedish helicopter company that has offered professional helicopter services in Stockholm and across Sweden since 1988. The company says it has more than 35 years in the Swedish helicopter industry. It describes itself as one of Sweden's most experienced helicopter operators, and it works with private guests, companies and public bodies.

Sightseeing over Stockholm is one of its best known services. The Stockholm from above tour lasts about 20 minutes and covers the Old Town and the city's archipelago. A longer tour lasts about 30 minutes and flies over Stockholm and the inner archipelago to Vaxholm and back. The Sandhamn and outer archipelago tour lasts about 50 minutes. Custom tours can be planned on request, and gift cards are valid for 12 months.

Private flights and VIP service use the Airbus ACH130, which the company describes as quiet and comfortable, with panoramic views. Private charter lets a guest or group book the whole helicopter for their own party. The company also offers helicopter transport for people and cargo to places where roads end.

Aerial work includes helicopter lifting and special missions, survey work for forests and wildlife, aerial photo and film work, and inspection of powerlines and facilities. Firefighting and standby work are also offered. Trial flights let people try flying a helicopter themselves.

The company has four helicopters. The Airbus ACH130 is used for VIP and private flights, the EC130 B4 for sightseeing, the AS350 B3e (H125) for aerial work and the Bell 206L LongRanger for utility and charter work. The AS350 B3e can lift up to 1,300 kg on the hook, and the EC130 and ACH130 seat up to six passengers.

Pilot training covers licences, proficiency checks and trial flights. The company holds approvals for its air operator certificate, its specialised operations authorisation, its continuing airworthiness management organisation and an EASA Part 145 maintenance organisation. It is also ISO 9001 certified. Its two bases are in the Stockholm area: Åkersberga is the main base, and Bromma serves sightseeing, charter and corporate flights.
