To better cover the western part of Südtirol (Vinschgau), "Heli Flugrettung Südtirol" has based an EMS helicopter in Lasa since February 2020. What initially started as a 3 year seasonal trial program, has since developped into a permanent base. The following EC145 / H145 have so far operated as "Pelikan 3": I-SLND, I-AHTD, I-SUEM, I-ATLS and I-PTAH. I-LMBD pictured here was only based in Lana on March 1, 2023, as it was able to accomodate the night flying and spotlight equipment required to guarantee longer operating hours (between 8am and 8pm), well into the darkness during the wintertime.
