Helvetic Airways flies non-stop to Balaton on Lake Balaton

This year, Helvetic Airways will once again start operating weekly flights to Balaton on Lake Balaton from 27 March 2007. Due to its popularity as a holiday destination for swimming and wellness, as well as increasingly also for culture and sports, Lake Balaton is becoming more and more popular among Swiss tourists. This is already the third year that Helvetic Airways is offering flights to Balaton, which has established itself as a valued destination for our passengers.

The "Hungarian Sea" is another name for Lake Balaton, which is the largest and warmest lake in Central Europe. Its location in an extinct volcanic area makes the region and lake attractive for wellness holidays and spa treatments, as well as increasingly for cultural and sporting holidays.

Helvetic Airways offers its passengers short, non-stop flights to the most beautiful regions of Europe and North Africa. The quick and easy booking process means that the holiday already starts before the flight. Passengers are served on board the aircraft by an extremely courteous and friendly cabin crew and can enjoy the flight on comfortable leather seats with above-average leg room.

20 flight destinations in 8 countries
Since it started offering flights in November 2003, more than 1.4 million passengers have put their trust in Helvetic Airways. The Swiss airline, which has 118 employees, operates four 100-seat Fokker 100 jets on its route network. In the summer flight schedule for 2007, Helvetic Airways will fly non-stop to 20 destinations in 8 countries. The airline has a strong focus on Italy. Helvetic Airways flies to 8 travel destinations in that country. In cooperation with various tour operators, there are also flights to a number of additional destinations in charter traffic. Helvetic Airways flies to several travel destinations in every region. This enables passengers to combine the individual destinations with each other, which is ideal for spending a long weekend or short holiday with family and friends.


Swiss regional airline Helvetic Airways provides a range of short- and medium-haul air services from various Swiss airports. The carrier deploys its Embraer E190-E2, E195-E2 and E190-E1 aircraft on scheduled, charter and wet-lease flights.
