The regional airline Helvetic Airways has purchased the Embraer 190s that were previously leased. The Swiss aviation register shows that the carrier now also owns HB-JVM, HB-JVN, HB-JVO and HB-JVP.
The Helvetic Airways fleet currently consists of a total of 16 aircraft. These are the four Embraer 190s that were purchased, as well as eight Embraer 190-E2s and four E195-E2s. In the past, the E190s were used by the former Air Berlin subsidiary Niki before they were phased out and put into service at Helvetic.
The eight Embraer 190-E2 are owned by the Group's own Helvetic Aircraft AG. This is a group-internal financing and leasing company. The same applies to the four Embraer 195-E2. Due to the acquisition of the E1 models, the entire fleet is now owned by the Helvetic Group.
