Helvetic Airways continues to grow

Helvetic Airways is expanding the fast growing areas of charter and special charter flights. As the current fleet of six Fokker 100s is already used to capacity, the airline will also be operating an Airbus A319 from April 2013. This type of aircraft will cover the 130 - 140 seat market. In addition, it will allow us to fly to destinations that lie beyond the range of the Fokker 100.

We will be recruiting 25 new airline staff in the course of the fleet expansion, raising the number of Helvetic Airways staff to over 225.

In summer 2013, our Airbus A319 will fly to the following destinations for Kuoni:

From Bern: Heraklion From Geneva: Heraklion
Kos Kos
Rhodes Rhodes
Fuerteventura/Arrecife
Larnaca
Las Palmas/Tenerife
Hurghada/Sharm el-Sheikh

Swiss regional airline Helvetic Airways has been offering a range of short- and medium-haul services from Swiss airports since 2006. The airline operates Embraer E190-E2, E195-E2, E190 and E195 aircraft on scheduled, charter and wet-lease flights. Under a long-term wet-lease agreement, up to 15 Helvetic Airways aircraft operate on behalf of Swiss International Air Lines. 

Helvetic Airways employs around 600 people. The company also has its own maintenance hangar at its corporate headquarters at Zurich Airport, staffed by around 60 aircraft mechanics. The airline offers innovative part-time models in the cockpit and cabin such as, for cabin crew, the Ski&Fly and Fly&Study options as well as the fully flexible Fly your way model. Current vacancies can be found at career.helvetic.com. 

Helvetic Airways works closely with Horizon Swiss Flight Academy AG, based in Kloten since 2008 (www.horizon-sfa.ch). Both companies are part of the Helvetic Airways Group, headquartered in Freienbach, Switzerland.
