Statoil to Brønnøysund. The fixed-wing division was sold to Kato Airline
in 1998.

In 2004 Helitrans made two large purchases: the aerial photography company Fjellanger Widerøe and the domestic division of

BAe Jetstream 31

In 2007 Helitrans purchased HelikopterDrift AS, a helicopter company based in
