About Bioflight
Bioflight is an Aircraft Operator with more than 25 years’ experience in various kind of Special missions and Aerial Data Acquisition. Though our idealistic and ambitious approach to aviation, we have created an organization that offers a cost-effective platform for multiple types of data acquisition.
Our fleet is dynamic and can be adapted to a specific client request, but as a base it always consist of 8-10 Vulcanair P68´s in both C-models and Observer models.
Bioflight is an independent company with a strong relation to environmental flights in connection with offshore wind farms and wildlife monitoring programs, but has been frequently engaged in firefighting, agriculture, forestry, Navigation mapping, powerlines and LIDAR inspections. Our fleet of Vulcanair P68’s represents one of the most stable and reliable aircraft in its category and only the sky is the limit on what kind of assignments we can be engaged in.
Bioflight was founded in 1997 as a flight division within former Danish environmental consultancy company Bioconsult.
In 2010 Bioflight was separated and sold off to two investors in Denmark and the company was until 2014 kept on hobby basic with two P68`s engaged in visual surveys in Northern Europe.
In 2014 the structure of the company was changes, new members of the management were brought in ( among one of them Mads Brandt who is the owner of the company today) In the coming years, the foundation of Bioflight, as we know it today was formed.

#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.
