Built 2002, ex test registration D-HECA. This EC135 became the 1st of it's kind in Switzerland when it was registered as HB-ZEF on December 16, 2002. The red and white stars symbolize the flag of the canton of Valais. Originally of the version T2, it was modified to T3 standard in November 2015 and at the same time received a slightly different livery, see also picture ID 303717. With the delivery of Air Zermatt's 2nd Bell 429 HB-ZOZ in May of 2018, HB-ZEF was sold to Air Glaciers in early July of 2018 and based in Sion, from where it still operates at the time of upload.

This 2017 built Ecureuil joined the Air Zermatt fleet in June of 2018. It was imported new to Switzerland by Europavia (Suisse) SA, the official Airbus Helicopter representative and broker for Switzerland. In order to satisfy the usually high demand of AS350B3's for swiss customers, Europavia keeps two or three units of this successful helicopter "in stock" at any given time, allowing them to deliver on short notice if need be.
