Fjord Helikopter AS is a helicopter company in Stryn, Western Norway, founded in 2020. It is based at Langeset just outside Stryn and flies sightseeing tours and commercial work for private customers, businesses and large international companies. The company says it has grown steadily and is now a known operator in Norway's inland helicopter market.

Sightseeing

Passenger flights depart from four heliports: Stryn, Loen, Geiranger and Nordfjordeid, over fjords, glaciers and mountains. All passenger flights are private charters priced per helicopter rather than per seat, and weather can cause cancellation without charge.
