Norwegian Air Ambulance

Beechcraft King Air operated by Lufttransport

The Norwegian Air Ambulance Service (Norwegian: Den norske luftambulansetjenesten) is organised through the government owned limited company Luftambulansetjenesten HF (formerly Helseforetakenes Nasjonale Luftambulansetjeneste ANS). The service provides helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) and fixed-wing air ambulance operations.

Dedicated planes are provided at seven bases, and helicopters at 13.[1] In addition the service depends on the state Search and rescue helicopters for a full national coverage. The fixed-wing aircraft and HEMS helicopters are operated by the private companies Lufttransport and Norsk Luftambulanse on contract for the Air Ambulance Service.[2] The rescue helicopters are operated by the Royal Norwegian Air Force 330 squadron.
