Helvetic Airways and TIXI Zürich: Renewing a strong partnership
The two niche providers Helvetic Airways and TIXI Zürich are renewing their successful partnership.
TIXI Zürich offers a transportation service for persons with impaired mobility to complement public transportation while Helvetic Airways focuses on non-stop flights to select European destinations that major airlines do not serve with direct flights departing from Zurich and Bern.
Persons with impaired mobility can also benefit from this niche strategy, as direct flights to destinations such as Bristol, Brindisi, Glasgow, Bordeaux and Catania are much more convenient than alternatives that involve transfers and layovers.
Several vehicles in the TIXI fleet bearing the Helvetic Airways Swiss cross and the silver-grey logo are on the road in the city and canton of Zurich 365 days a year. By working together the two partners are able to help persons with impaired mobility lead independent lives.
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. 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. The airline offers innovative part-time employment models to its cockpit and cabin personnel. For its cabin attendants these include ‘Ski&Fly’, ‘Fly&Study’ and the fully flexible ‘Fly your way’ model. Details of current vacancies at Helvetic will be found at career.helvetic.com.
Helvetic Airways has been working closely with Horizon Swiss Flight Academy AG (www.horizon-sfa.ch), which is based in Kloten, Switzerland, since 2008. Both companies are part of the Helvetic Airways Group, which is domiciled in Freienbach, Switzerland.
