Jobs at Air Zermatt AG

Are there internships in the rescue service at Air Zermatt?

Unfortunately, Air Zermatt cannot offer internships. For insurance and safety reasons, we cannot take interns on the rescue helicopters.

Due to our operational area up to an altitude of 4600 m above sea level, we are weight limited, especially during the warm summer months. In addition to the standard crew consisting of pilot, paramedic and emergency physician, we take an additional rescue specialist with us for missions in the high mountains; or in the case of injured children in the ski area, a parent. Thus, with four seats available on the aircraft, we are also limited by the space available.

Since the pilot is responsible for the flying, they try to keep the risk as low as possible, also taking into account a possible limitation of performance due to unnecessary weight, and thus to be able to guarantee a certain safety reserve during operations at altitude.
