AS355 in Portugal

A friend of mine is in need for a twin-engined helicopter (preferable AS355) for an aerial filming session using the shotover system in Portugal (february 2019).
Somehow, a lot of companies are offering the AS355 on their webpage but when it comes down to a quotation it goes like "well, we don't have one, but we know someone who knows someone who operates one but he is based in....".
Any advice where to find a reliable operator with an AS355?

I can vouch for Hta helicopteros in the Algarve. They have a 355 and their chief pilot is well versed in aerial shoots. They film rally portugal amongst others.

HTA is the only operator in Portugal that has a 355

And they are used to use it for aerial shooting

Very professional

I can only recommend

Spunk, we don't have an AS355 over there, but if you need a Shotover system, we have two, and they travel.
