Emergency medical services operator Avincis has purchased Denmark’s KN Helicopters, which specializes in offshore wind farm services. Avincis has been operating in Norway, Sweden, and Finland for more than 10 years, and the KN acquisition adds Denmark and wind sector services to its portfolio.
The KN Helicopters fleet includes three Airbus H135s and one H145, and they join Avincis’ fleet of more than 60 Airbus helicopters. KN CEO Niels Peter Kjeldahl will keep running the wind farm operations.
According to Avincis, “Helicopters are increasingly seen as the preferred option for the offshore wind sector’s need for fast and agile support. They are not only quicker than traditional offshore service vessels but can operate safely in more challenging weather conditions.”
The 2025 Global Offshore Wind Report projects a compound average annual growth rate in the wind sector of 28% until 2029 and 15% to 2034, underscoring the future potential for offshore wind energy, Avincis noted.
“We are thrilled to welcome the KN Helicopters team to the Avincis group,” said John Boag, group CEO. “Today’s news is testament to our appetite for further growth and expansion into new sectors and regions. Offshore wind energy has an exciting future, and we are looking forward to supporting wind farm owners in Denmark with the same dedicated helicopter services we have been providing in other global markets for 60 years.”
