WHY DO WE WANT TO FOUND A TICINo’s AIRLINE?
When it comes to air connectivity, Ticino is disadvantaged, and since September 2019, no scheduled inbound or outbound flight is serving Lugano, forcing the users to use Milan or Zurich Airport, which requires long car or train trips.
By founding a Ticino’s Airline we will be able to guarantee flights continuity also in the future, and offer residents and incoming travelers fast and direct connections to and from Ticino, by flying to the major European destinations.
We firmly believe in this need, which will bring advantages to the whole region, as a complement to all the ongoing development plans on our territory!
HOW DO WE WANT TO CREATE IT?
Initially, we have the possibility of a partnership with a swiss airline which gave us its availability, but we will operate with our aircrafts, our personnel and using our name.
Successively, the SouthSuisse Airways Sagl, will move the necessary step for obtaining the AOC, in order to be able to manage and operate the flights in full autonomy.
which destinations will be available?
For starting the operations we plan to offer daily flights to Geneva and Frankfurt, adding successively routes to London .
As a seasonal destinations routes to Ibiza, Palma di Mallorca, Mykonos, Santorini, Olbia, Porto, Belgrade and Pristina are being considered.
Successively we will try to increase flights offer, with direct connections to the major European cities. Among them are Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Paris, Stuttgart, Amsterdam and Vienna.
what kind of aircraft will be operated?
The SouthSuisse Airways have considered a few passenger jet models, and the choice has fall on the Embraer E170 which guarantees the best performance and adapt in the best way to our business model.
