For a long time, Air-Glaciers was known to operate just SA-315 Lama and SA-316 / 319 Alouette III helicopters. It was only in 2001 that famous swiss pioneer Bruno Bagnoud finally "gave" in and ordered the first AS-350B3 helicopter for Air-Glaciers. Built in 2001 and registered HB-ZCZ in August that year, this helicopter wrote history for Air-Glaciers. It should serve the company well for the next almost 23 years till April 2, 2024, when it was unfortunately involved in an accident at the Petit Combin mountain in the canton of Valais, with three of the six occupants being killed.

This 2015 built EC130 was the first of the more powerful version T2 on the swiss register, and also the first and so far sole EC130 operated by Air Zermatt. Based at Zermatt heliport at 1600m/AMSL, HB-ZAZ was mainly used for scenic and taxi flights. The EC130 is not very popular in Switzerland - certainly not for aerial work - and it seems that Air Zermatt was not too happy with it either. Otherwise, it would not have been sold to Romania as YR-FRA in October 2023, after only being with Air Zermatt for eight years, and without being replaced.
