Bern from London City

Following the successful introduction of a daily flight between London City Airport and the Swiss capital of Bern, SkyWork Airlines has confirmed that the service will go double daily from 5 September.

Initially flown with a 31-seat Dornier 328 turboprop, the route quickly warranted upgrading to the Bombardier Q400 with 70 seats.  The airline has now added a second Bombardier, which is being used on flights between Bern and Mallorca.  A third aircraft will join the fleet just prior to the London service doubling up.

“London City – Bern has become a star performer in our route network,” said Tomislav Lang, SkyWork Airlines’ CEO, adding “we are very much looking forward to building on that success by offering morning and evening departures, affording the business traveller a full day in the cities of Bern and London.”  He said that the airline expected to pick up skiing business later in the year.

In addition to its enhanced London schedule, seven additional cities from Bern are being added in the winter timetable, boosting the number of destinations served by SkyWork to 12.  Rome, Vienna and Milan come on line on 5 September, followed by Madrid, Belgrade, Budapest and Amsterdam in October. www.flyskywork.com
