In 2012, Air Zermatt's HB-ZSU became the 1st Bell 429 in Switzerland. Having operated an EC135 (HB-ZEF) in the HEMS role for a few years, Air Zermatt decided to switch to the 429 for performance reasons, as they mainly operate out of Zermatt at an altitude of 1600 Meters / 5000 ft. Apparently being happy with the type, Air Zermatt added a 2nd B429 in 2018, but those two GlobalRangers remain exotic among Switzerland's medical helicopters, dominated by REGA's A109 and H145 plus some eight EC135's of Air-Glaciers, Lions Air and Swift Copters.
