Swiss regional airline Helvetic Airways provides a range of short- and medium-haul air services from its Zurich Airport, Bern Airport and EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg hubs. The carrier uses its 16 Embraer E Jet aircraft for scheduled, wet-lease and charter flights. Eight Helvetic Airways Embraer E190-E2s are currently operated on behalf of Swiss International Air Lines under a long-term wet-lease agreement. The Helvetic Airways workforce numbers some 450 employees. The company also has its own maintenance hangar and operation at Zurich Airport, which is further home to its corporate head office. Helvetic Airways has been working closely with Horizon Swiss Flight Academy AG (www.horizon-sfa.ch), which is based in Kloten, since 2008. Both companies are part of the Helvetic Airways Group, which is domiciled in Freienbach, Switzerland.
