Partnership between Swiss and Helvetic Airways to be extended
The ACMI cooperation between Swiss International Air Lines and Helvetic Airways, in existence since 2006, is to be extended: As of the 2013/2014 winter flight schedule, an additional Helvetic Airways Fokker 100 (including crew) will be in operation for Swiss.
The renewed, long-term cooperation contract regulates the use of a total of 4 Fokker 100s and is effective until spring 2017.
Helvetic Airways and its employees are very proud to know that Swiss values the dedication and the Swiss quality of Helvetic Airways and is honouring it with a long-term cooperation.
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.
