Built in 1983 as G-BKZE, this airframe was till early 1993 used by British Airways Helicopters. Brintel Helicopters was next, leasing it to the UN in 1994. As from August 2000, the heli was part of CHC Scotia, before Heli Austria obtained it in June 2016, applying an overall red paint scheme. However, it already wore this green paint when it was transferred to the Lions Air Group in April 2024. Operated for "European Firecats", a joint venture of Lions Air and Heli Austria using Super Pumas in the fire fighting role. Note the modified main landing gear sponsons, reducing the EW by 135 kgs.
