New routes for holiday airlines


In April, Swiss will be using A340s operated by its holiday airline Edelweiss on unusually short routes: the wide-bodied aircraft are to be deployed around 20 times between Zurich and London Heathrow, carrying only cargo rather than passengers.

 

More such flights are planned to Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan-Malpensa and Vienna. On a permanent basis, the US carrier Sun Country Airlines, which otherwise - nomen est omen - serves sunny destinations in Central America and the Caribbean, will fly to Fairbanks. Its second stop in Alaska after Anchorage is also a cargo-only destination. Sun Country has been operating part of the Amazon fleet with ten B737-800s for a year. The new gateway will include an on-site area to sort packages bound for their next destination. (ah)
