A Helicopter Built for Mountain Operations
The AS350B-2 Ecureuil, also known as the “Squirrel,” was developed as a multi-purpose helicopter capable of operating in a wide variety of environments. Its balanced handling characteristics and dependable design made it especially suitable for mountainous terrain, where changing weather conditions and challenging landscapes require both precision and reliability.

Serving Mountain Flyers in Switzerland
After entering service in Switzerland, HB-ZTM became part of the Mountain Flyers fleet, an operator recognized for providing helicopter services throughout the country’s spectacular alpine regions.

Remembering HB-ZTM
HB-ZTM remained in service with Mountain Flyers for several years before its operational career came to an unfortunate end following a landing accident in the Swiss Alps in 2017. The accident resulted in the loss of the pilot, and the helicopter was subsequently removed from service. Despite this tragic event, the aircraft is remembered for the valuable role it played in supporting mountain aviation and serving passengers throughout Switzerland.
