Czech-based HEMS operator DSA has recently taken delivery of its first AS350, a B3e model directly from the manufacturer. The helicopter was delivered from Marignane via Grenoble, Freiburg and Donauworth, to Hradec Kralove by crew members Daniel Tucek and Kamil Kolisek, a flight that took 6:42 hours. It is now in operation for commercial air transport and aerial work. DSA pilots carried out type rating training in Munich earlier this year.
