Helvetic Airways is an airline based at Zürich Airport in Kloten, Switzerland.[1] It operates flights to destinations in Europe, mainly leisure markets, but also to business destinations. Its main base is Zürich Airport.[2] The airline now operates scheduled flights on behalf of Swiss International Air Lines using their fleet of Fokker 100s.

History

The airline was established in 2001 and started operations on 15 February 2002. It was founded as Odette Airways and was re-branded as Helvetic Airways in September 2003. The first flight as Helvetic Airways took off in November 2003. The investment company Patinex, owned by Martin and Rosemarie Ebner, became the majority shareholders in the airline in 2006.[2] Helvetic Airways ceased most of its scheduled operating flights as of October 2008 focussing mainly on wet leasing its aircraft and charter operations due to the soaring fuel prices.[3] It began to operate scheduled flights on behalf of Swiss International Air Lines in January 2009.[citation needed]

In May 2010 the airline took delivery of a further two Fokker 100 aircraft to increase its fleet to six. At the same time the airline expanded by 30 further employees.[4]

On 28 October 2010, the Swiss news media announced a new base in Bern Airport.[5]
