Scandinavian MediCopter has been awarded the new EMS contract in Gotland. The agreement was initially presented in June, but it has now been sealed following the end of a recent appeal process. Gotland’s Muncipality (Region Gotland) has chosen MediCopter as its medical air service provider for the next 5+2 years, starting from 1 April 2014. The company will use a Bell 429 for the operation. The brand new helicopter type will be replacing MediCopter’s current EC 145 (SE-JJC) that serves the region.

Scandinavian MediCopter is the helicopter division of Scandinavian AirAmbulance. The group is involved in airborne medical transports throughout large parts of Scandinavia.
