Information
This aircraft was constructed at Eurocopter's Donauwörth plant in 2008. It arrived to Sweden in the spring of 2008, going straight to Scandinavian MediCopter's main base in Östersund for some EMS modifications. It replaced
SE-JFN as primary EMS helicopter in Stockholm ("Ambulans 998") in the summer of 2008.
In 2011 the traditional callsign Ambulans 998 was changed to Mediflight 5980. The backup summer aircraft (former A994), which serves from May 15 to September 15, was given the callsign Mediflight 5840.
On 30 November 2016 Scandinavian MediCopter changed its name to
Babcock Scandinavian AirAmbulance as part of a global branding synchronization with the owner Babcock International Group. The new profile included a new logotype, but the operation and the structure of the company remained the same.
