Helvetic return to CWL?
Commenting on the confirmed withdrawal of Helvetic on the CWL-ZRH route for summer 2013 recently (it's been obvious the route was axed for some time - it hasn't operated this winter), Helvetic’s chief financial officer Tobias Pogorevc said the airline was not “commercially happy” with the Cardiff-Zurich service over the past two years.
He said Bristol had significantly more business passengers than Cardiff, plus more passengers flying outbound from Bristol.
The good thing for CWL and South Wales is that Tobias Pogorevc went on to say, “We are in ongoing discussion with the marketing/business development team of Cardiff Airport as we would like to return to Cardiff. The Swiss tourists liked Wales and would welcome a direct route from Zurich to Cardiff."
So there is still hope for a return in 2014.
