Helvetic Airways customers in and around Bern can also look forward to further non-stop services to some of the finest beach holiday destinations from the beginning of June to mid-October 2024. New to Helvetic Airways’ Bern-based operation is the Tunisian leisure destination of Djerba, which will receive a weekly Friday flight. The Greek islands are also prominent once again among Bern’s 2024 summer destinations: Heraklion will enjoy twice-weekly Wednesday and Saturday service, offering vacationers greater flexibility in the length of their stay; and Kos and Rhodes will also be served weekly, on Mondays and Sundays respectively. In the Eastern Mediterranean, Larnaca on Cyprus will receive weekly Saturday flights. Helvetic Airways’ Bern summer schedules are rounded off with a twice-weekly service to Mallorca, with the popular Balearic island enjoying Thursday and Sunday flights.
