The Swiss airline, Helvetic Airways, has shown a creative approach to travel in these Covid-19 dominated times, by offering pop-up flights. Whilst we all might be accustomed to pop-up stores and even pop-up cinemas, pop-up flights are something of a new phenomenon. These flights are not for those who like to plan months in advance or gain the benefits of early bird bookings, this is all about last (last) minute. According to a report on EX-YU Aviation Helvetic Airways have joined forces with a travel operator, Meersicht, to offer these short notice flights.

Helvetic Airlines has announced a flight to Dubrovnik from Zurich on the 14th of August and to Brač on the 27th of July, and they plan to launch even more pop-up flights to Croatia. EX-YU Aviation writes that “Helvetic is offering travellers the opportunity to book both a flight and hotel package or simply a flight. All services will be operated by the Embraer E190-E2 jet.”
