SkyWork Airlines marks successful year on London City – Bern

Speaking at a reception in the Swiss Embassy, Marylebone, London, Tomislav Lang, SkyWork Airlines CEO, said that the twice daily service from London City, now 12 months old, could get a third rotation.  He also strongly hinted that the airline is looking at the Embraer E series for future expansion.

“The London City – Bern service has become our star performer,” he said.  “Over 11,160 passengers have flown the route in the first year and a further 13,745 are booked to fly on future departures aboard SkyWork’s business turboprops.”  The airline operates three Bombardier Q400s and four Dornier 328 turboprops.

Mr Lang was keen to emphasise connections through what he called the Bern mini-hub.  A transfer time of just 20 minutes is possible, the airline serving 25 points including a number in Croatia, Greece and Serbia with either non-existent or poor services to the United Kingdom.  He noted that with its convenient location Bern Airport is fast being recognised as providing short transfer times to some of Switzerland’s finest ski resorts, including Interlaken, Adelboden, Grindelwald, Chateau-d’Oex, Kandersteg, Lenk, Murren and Wengen.  www.flyskywork.com
