Avincis, Europe’s largest emergency aerial services operator backed by infrastructure manager Ancala, has acquired KN Helicopters, a specialist offshore wind services company in Denmark, for an undisclosed amount.
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. KN Helicopters has been delivering helicopter services to the offshore wind sector since 2016, having secured contracts with wind farm owners and operators such as Vattenfall and Siemens.
KN Helicopters currently operates three Airbus H135s and one Airbus H145. These will complement the existing Avincis fleet, which includes more than 60 Airbus helicopters, and will benefit from the strength of Avincis’s capabilities and expertise across its global network.
