history
Wiking Helikopter Service was founded in 1975 by VTG AG , a subsidiary of the then Preussag , and the Norwegian helicopter company Helikopter Service AS for the transfer of sea pilots by helicopter .
In 2001 Linnhoff Schiffahrt took over all shares. The RF Forschungsschiffahrt also belongs to this company. The URAG Unterweser Reederei , which was still part of the company at the time, was taken over by Boluda Corporación Marítima in February 2017. Since August 14, 2017, Wiking has had a new sole shareholder with KAAN Air INTERNATIONAL AG based in Zurich , Switzerland . KAAN Air INTERNATIONAL AG is a subsidiary of the Turkish Kaan Havacılık Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş (brand name KAAN AIR), which in turn is a subsidiary of BAŞARI HOLDİNG.
