Bern, Air France’s fourth destination in Switzerland

[sn26567]

Starting on 19 January 2009, Air France will be expanding services to Switzerland by offering a new destination, Bern, with 2 daily flights from Monday to Friday and 1 flight on Saturday and Sunday.

These flights will leave from Paris-Orly and will be operated by Airlinair in ATR42, equipped with 48 seats. The flight schedule will enable passengers to make a day return, meeting the needs of our business customers.

Bern, the capital of Switzerland, is an ideal gateway to central Switzerland. Bern-Belp airport, due to its modest size, enables passengers to check in up to 20 minutes before their scheduled departure time. Starting at the end of March 2009, the Bernmobil Bus will run a direct service from Bern’s main railway station to the airport.
