HeliAir Sweden, a Nordic helicopter operator and lessor providing mission-critical aerial services including firefighting, power and utilities, defence and other specialised applications, has had a majority stake taken by private asset management company CapMan Infra.

Headquartered in Sweden, HeliAir has built a strong position in the Nordic market and serves a diversified customer base across the public and private sectors. The company provides critical helicopter services including aerial firefighting, electricity grid inspections, vegetation management, military training support and other specialised operations. HeliAir's offering is supported by vertically integrated teams and in-house capabilities across maintenance, fuelling and training.

CapMan Infra's investment will support HeliAir in its next phase of growth. The focus is to further strengthen the company's market position in its core segments, supporting continued fleet development and expanding its service offering in selected markets. HeliAir's role in supporting essential public services and infrastructure operations makes the company a strong fit with CapMan Infra's focus on resilient, mission-critical businesses.

“We are pleased to partner with HeliAir in its next phase of growth. The company has built a strong position in a market with high requirements for safety, availability and specialised operational expertise, supported by a high-quality fleet. Its services support public safety and critical infrastructure, and we look forward to supporting the company's continued development together with the management team,” says Ibrahim Makdessi, investment manager at CapMan Infra.

“This is an important step for HeliAir,” adds Joel Backlund, CEO of HeliAir. “With CapMan Infra as our new majority owner, we will have a strong partner to support our growth ambitions, further invest in our fleet and capabilities, and continue delivering reliable, high-quality services to our customers across the Nordics and selected European markets.”
