New Helvetic Airways flights to Monastir in Tunisia from Zurich and Geneva

New non-stop flights to Tunisia from Zurich and Geneva! Helvetic Airways will be operating flights to Monastir from 23rd May 2007. Monastir is the latest in a long line of exclusive destinations on offer to Helvetic Airways passengers. The airline will operate weekly non-stop flights to Monastir from Geneva and Zurich each Wednesday.

Along with Kairouan and Sousse, Monastir is one of Tunisia’s first Arabic settlements, and was erected on the ruins of the ancient Punic-Roman city of Ruspina. Today, Monastir is a respected university city. The port also developed into an important trans-shipment centre within the olive oil trade. It has been one of Tunisia’s main tourist centres since the mid-1960s. Highlights of a holiday in and around Monastir include kilometres of beautiful sandy beaches bordering the warm Mediterranean and excursions to the nearby Sahara desert and other cultural sites. However, there’s more to Monastir than endless beaches: several 5-star resorts provide golfers and wellness enthusiasts alike with an exclusive range of facilities.

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.
