About Bioflight
Bioflight is a Danish company that has carved a niche in the aviation industry by offering aircraft operation services specifically for aerial survey and remote sensing missions. Our history is characterized by strategic specialization and partnerships that focus on supporting geospatial data collection without directly operating its own sensors.
Over time, Bioflight has positioned itself as a reliable partner for companies that own or operate their own sensors. This strategy allowed us to fill a critical gap in the industry—enabling survey companies, government agencies, and research institutions to conduct complex aerial surveys without the burden of aircraft management and compliance.
Bioflight expanded the operation by collaborating with technology firms and research organizations that provide LiDAR, photogrammetry, and other remote sensing technologies. This partnership model helped the company establish itself as a versatile aircraft operator for diverse geospatial applications.
As demand for aerial data grew in sectors such as environmental monitoring, forestry, urban planning, and agriculture, we adapted our fleet and operational capabilities to meet these needs. The company now serves clients across Europe and has established itself as a preferred aircraft operator for airborne remote sensing projects.
By specializing in aviation services and outsourcing the sensing technology, Bioflight can offer a flexible and efficient platform for a variety of geospatial data collection projects without being limited to specific sensor types or brands. This business model allows us to serve a wide range of industries, from environmental research to infrastructure planning.
Today, Bioflight is known for its expertise in supporting airborne data acquisition missions across the Nordic and European regions. The company continues to focus on providing aircraft and operational support, enabling its clients to conduct precise and efficient aerial surveys using their own sensors and equipment.

#9 My organisation operates aircraft of our own, so why should I engage in a collaboration with Bioflight?
To match an existing fleet to a growing list of tasks is always a puzzle and when winning a big task, the same questions always arise: Can we manage with our own fleet? And if so, can we take on more ad-hock work during the season?
By collaborating with Bioflight, you do not have to ask those questions any more, as you can take full advantage of a wet leasing arrangement. By assigning Bioflight on the long term tasks, you have ensured availability at the same time as you have released resources to consentrate on ad hock tasks that might lead to bigger projects in the future.
And when the task is over, the Bioflight aircraft goes home, and you are left with quality data and no more expenses cover. In other words: You ensure availability when an aircraft is needed and save the expenses when the aircraft is no longer needed. Request a quote, and perhaps you will find that Bioflight operations are more cost/effective than your own?
#10 What is the price?
The price is good and competitive, that’s for sure! Naturally the price varies with the location, weather demands, the season and the nature of the task.
