Foundation Helimission bought this AS350 from Eurocopter Malaysia (ECM) in August 2005. It was overhauled and fitted to the Helimission utility standard by ECM in Kuala Lumpur, where it is seen here before being shipped to Switzerland. The heli still carries the previous indonesian registration from the time it was operated by Indonesian Air Transport. Previous registrations were PT-HMC (Brazil) and F-GKMD (France). It became HB-ZHQ in 2006 and later ET-AMW in Ethiopia, where it served with Helimission till 2016. Back in Switzerland an re-registered to HB-ZHQ at the time of upload.

There is no history found for this aircraft and nothing found on the operator. The apparatus under the fuselage may have been used to carry survey equipment so it could have been in Canada on a contract.
