History
The company has been focused in two kinds of seasonal activities – the agricultural operations in the summers and ice reconnaissance tasks in the winters. The ice reconnaissance ops were carried out from the Swedish icebreakers for several decades. The long-lived winter operations ceased in 2004, due to the icebreakers new access to live high-resolution satellite images, which covered a larger surface than the helicopters could reach.
In September 2013
Cassel Aero added a Robinson R44 to its fleet. The helicopter is used for reindeer herding and forest/animal census operations.
