This 2015 built EC130 was the first of the more powerful version T2 on the swiss register, and also the first and so far sole EC130 operated by Air Zermatt. Based at Zermatt heliport at 1600m/AMSL, HB-ZAZ was mainly used for scenic and taxi flights. The EC130 is not very popular in Switzerland - certainly not for aerial work - and it seems that Air Zermatt was not too happy with it either. Otherwise, it would not have been sold to Romania as YR-FRA in October 2023, after only being with Air Zermatt for eight years, and without being replaced.
