Swiss renews partnership with Helvetic Airways for another five years
Swiss has decided to extend and deepen its partnership with Helvetic Airways, which provides wet-lease services with its fleet of aircraft.
The new agreement will be deepened and extended for another five years, the Swiss flag carrier announced.
Under it, Helvetic will make its fleet of up to 15 E190-E2 and E195-E2 jets and first-generation E-Jets available to operate Swiss flights.
“Helvetic Airways fully and consistently meets all our high safety standards and all our premium aspirations, and is well liked by our customers” said SWISS Chief Commercial Officer Heike Birlenbach. “I’m delighted that we can now extend our successful partnership. Our collaboration not only enables us to cover our operating peaks: with Helvetic’s smaller aircraft, we can also serve destinations for which our own SWISS aircraft would be too big.”
“We are proud that the partnership which SWISS and Helvetic Airways have cultivated since 2007 will now be further extended and expanded,” adds Helvetic Airways CEO Tobias Pogorevc. “This confirms to us that we consistently meet SWISS’s high quality and reliability standards, and that our advanced regional twinjets ideally supplement the SWISS aircraft fleet.”
During the winter season, Helvetic will make up to nine of its jets available for Swiss flights, a total that will rise to 15 planes during the summer of 2025. Currently, Helvetic Airways has a fleet of 22 Embraer aircraft, eight E190-E2, four E195-E2, six E190-E1 and four E195-E1.
