Avincis has acquired KN Helicopters, a specialized Danish helicopter operator, for an undisclosed amount. This corporate acquisition sees Avincis taking full ownership of KN Helicopters, expanding its operational capabilities and market reach within the European aviation services sector.
KN Helicopters, established in 2013 and based in Esbjerg, Denmark, is known for providing flexible, reliable, and safe helicopter solutions. The company primarily serves the dynamic green energy sector, offering services such as hoist operations, crew change and transportation to offshore installations, external sling loads, and inspection flights for critical infrastructure like wind turbines and power lines. Additionally, KN Helicopters operates a Part 145 maintenance organization and an ATO (Approved Training Organization) providing specialized aviation training.
Avincis is a global provider of critical aviation services, delivering essential support across sectors including emergency medical services, search and rescue, firefighting, and utility support. The acquisition of KN Helicopters is a strategic move, allowing Avincis to integrate KN Helicopters’ specialized expertise and strong presence in the rapidly growing European green energy market. This expands Avincis’s service portfolio and strengthens its footprint in northern Europe.
The combined entity is expected to leverage Avincis's global operational scale and resources with KN Helicopters' specialized technical capabilities and market leadership in offshore wind and other sustainable energy infrastructure support. This integration is anticipated to create synergies that enhance service delivery and operational efficiency. The acquisition positions the unified operation to better serve evolving demands for critical aviation services, particularly within the energy transition landscape across Europe.
