That's the same operator, crashing the same type, in the same area.... three times. Is this a local issue, or a cultural issue?
One AW139 from the same operator crashed in Abruzzo which is in the Apennine's mountain range in central Italy in Jan 2017, approx 500 miles south of the Monte Rosa range.
I’m not sure which one was the other accident you are referring too.
In pretty much the same spot on Monte Rosa an AS350 from Air Zermatt crashed last summer.
