The airline Helvetic Airways is the last remaining wet lease provider in the Lufthansa Group. All other subcontractors were parted with in the wake of the corona pandemic. But the cooperation between Swiss and Helvetic Airways has long been a thorn in the side of the unions.
How long Helvetic Airways will continue to fly for Swiss is not exactly known. In any case, the contract seems to be ingenious and not so easy for the Lufthansa subsidiary to terminate. Helvetic was originally a low-cost airline that was traveling in a very idiosyncratic livery. The cooperation with Swiss only came about after a change of ownership, which also brought about today's colors.
Helvetic also flies for other clients. For example, these are tour operators who use the Swiss airline's Embraer jets for their vacation flights. The carrier repeatedly offers scheduled flights for its own account. Now you set up a destination from Zurich-Kloten with Hurghada. This is to be operated from February 12, 2022 on the Saturday traffic day. It is currently planned that the route will be offered up to and including April 30, 2022.
With the Finnish Kittilä, on December 26, 2021, you will have another destination on your own account from Zurich. This route is to be served until February 26, 2021.
