As of July 2024, italian operator Elitellina - part of the spanish Pegasus Aero Group - operates 15 AS-350B3's from it's main base in Talamona and the smaller heliport in Gordona (both located in the province of Sondrio). A 3rd Elitellina operational base is located in an industrial zone close to the village of Piedimulera in the Valley of Ossola. I-MCMC shown here wears the colorful Elitellina paint scheme even though most other B3's in the fleet keep the previous owners livery for a good while, as the heli's are put to work right away, and painting them seems to be less of a priority.
