Helvetic's fifth Fokker 100 now in service
In terms of interior and external design, the HB-JVH is identical to the previous F-100, allowing immediate integration in Helvetic's existing fleet. The sixth F-100 is scheduled to be put into service in the next few weeks. The airline's investment programme announced in April is thus set to come to an end in July: "In addition to the expansion of our fleet, our plans to recruit and train new staff are also on track; we've thereby laid the foundations for growth. This summer, we're extending our network of destinations to serve Rostock, as a scheduled flight, as well as the charter destinations of Crete, Kos and Djerba, with plans to add additional destinations next summer," says Helvetic CEO Bruno Jans.

At least six Helvetic Airways Embraer E190-E2s and E195-E2s are being operated in winter 2023/24 and summer 2024 on behalf of Swiss International Air Lines in summer 2023 under a long-term wet-lease agreement.
The Helvetic Airways workforce numbers over 510 employees. The company also has its own maintenance hangar and operation at Zurich Airport, which is further home to its corporate head office.
