Since 2006 it has had a new management team who have changed the focus of the airline, dropping business routes (like London) and concentrating on holiday destinations not offered by competing airlines from its home base at Zurich. Recently Swiss aviation has been in a recovery phase following the shock demise of its grand dame Swiss Air. Helvetic – with its distinctive pink paintwork – is a good value option for flights to holiday destinations from Zurich.
The airline since March 2016, there was a wet-lease contract with Lufthansa for the Zurich and Munich route.
