Darwin Airlines Cuts Foggia Flights

Posted 02/09/2011

Independent Swiss regional carrier Darwin Airlines is to suspend its three routes from Foggia this winter leaving the Italian city’s small Gion Lisa Airport with no fixed-wing scheduled air services.  The airline currently operates more than 20 weekly flights from the facility comprising two weekday and single daily weekend rotations to Milan Malpensa, five flights per week to Palermo and four to Turin.  However, from October 30 it will suspend all three routes and will redeploy its based Saab 2000 elsewhere in its network.

In the past year Darwin Airlines handled around 75,000 O&D passengers on the three domestic routes which are operated under a codeshare arrangement with its sister venture Baboo and Italian national carrier Alitalia.  Around 41,000 travellers flew between Foggia and Milan, 19,000 between Foggia and Palermo and 15,000 between Foggia and Turin.
