September 2010, Helvetic Airways with daily flights to Bari (Apulia)
The up-and-coming southern Italian region of Apulia has become increasingly important for Helvetic Airways during the last five years of continuous operation. Whilst firmly anchored in Brindisi in the tourism and ethnic travel sector, the hub-function of Zürich airport will also be moved to the forefront in Bari.
The new, daily, non-stop flight Zürich - Bari is ideally adapted to Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. intercontinental and European connections and this is expressed through the code sharing agreement between the two airlines.
Bookings can now be made on www.helvetic.com and soon on www.swiss.com. All flight connections will be uploaded to the current GDS.
