SkyWork Airlines AG[2] is a Swiss airline, with its head office in Belp near Bern[3][4] and its base at Bern Airport. It primarily operates scheduled flights to destinations across Europe, with additional charter operations throughout the summer months.

History

Previously the airline's head office was in the north terminal of Bern Airport in Belp.[5][6][7]

The last of formerly three Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 has left the fleet and has been transferred to Air Berlin by October 2014.[8] Also in October 2014, London-Southend replaced London-City as SkyWork's destination for London.[9] By April 2015, SkyWork announced to cut down their London operations from 12 return flights per week to 9 per week.[10]

In November 2015, SkyWork announced the termination of their ACMI contract with Darwin Airline by December 2015. As all other services will be taken over, the route to London-Southend will be terminated due to capacity restrictions.[11] In the same time, SkyWork announced to retire their entire fleet of Dornier 328-110s by autumn 2017 which are gradually replaced with Saab 2000s.[11]
