Helvetic Airways adapts its business model to the new framework conditions

In view of the consistently high fuel prices, Helvetic Airways AG has decided to use its entire fleet of four Fokker F-100s in wet lease and charter operations.

Helvetic Airways AG will therefore no longer operate scheduled aircraft after the 2008 summer flight schedule (end of October).

The workforce will remain unchanged at 125 employees.

The non-stop flights to Brindisi, Catania, Lamezia Terme, Palermo and Jerez de la Frontera can be booked as usual for the summer and autumn of 2008.


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.
