In 2010, three mountaineers were successfully rescued from an altitude of 7,000 m in the Annapurna region (Nepal) using an AS 350 B3: the highest mountain rescue ever performed by a helicopter!

The AS350 B3e is essentially an upgraded version of the AS350 B3+, equipped with a new, more powerful, and more efficient Arriel 2D engine. Thanks to its modernized engine, the B3e offers several significant advantages—particularly in terms of performance, maintenance efficiency, and operational availability.

Thanks to its high power reserves, the AS350 B3e is ideally suited for a wide range of missions in passenger and cargo transport. It accommodates up to 6 occupants (1 pilot + 5 passengers) and is frequently used by Kitz Air for passenger transport, air taxi services, sightseeing flights, and cargo transport.
