"Boo" that it's not a *A carrier, so can't use ZRH as a hub. "Huh?" for the decision to operate onto CWL and back again (I mean, seriously? I know LX do GVA-ZRH as a route in Switzerland, but that's hardly the same. Part of me is wondering if the Welsh Assembly dangled a subsidy carrot at them),
BRS-CWL-BRS sector is not bookable as a destination. Helvetic has been operating to/from Cardiff since the beginning of the Summer. It is possible that forward bookings for the winter are not as well as previously forcasted. I have heard from several sources that Helvetic loves Wales as a destination and possibly this maybe a way to secure the future of the Cardiff route throughout the winter and into Summer 2012.
Helvetic is a good airline, punctual on the whole even with their small fleet of 6 x Fokker 100 aircraft.
