SWISS adds 3 wet-leased Saab 2000s
SWISS has added 3 Saab 2000 turboprops to its fleet, wet-leased from Adria Airways, and will end the wet-lease of one Austrian Airlines Bombardier Q400, all as of Oct 28. Starting then, Adria will take over SWISS’ wet-leased Zurich-Lugano route from Austrian for economic reasons, a spokesperson said. Adria will operate a 50-seat Saab 2000 that is better suited to this domestic route than Austrian’s 76-seat Q400. Lugano will be the only destination that Adria serves for SWISS. Adria said that about one-third of flights in the 2018 first half were wet-lease services. It flew close to 10,000 flights in the 1H, up 2.4% from the year-ago period, of which more than 3,300 were aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance services. Adria this fall added 6 Saab 2000s to its fleet from Jetstream Aviation Capital. <br/>
