With SBB, Ticino is well connected with the rest of Switzerland and Italy. Thanks to the San Gotardo Base Tunnel and the new Ceneri Tunnel, travel time from German-speaking Switzerland to Sonnenstube is significantly reduced.
It seems a little sad for travelers who want to fly to Ticino by plane. After the decline of airlines Darwin (2017) and Skywork (2018), the airport operator in Lugano recently filed for bankruptcy.
The authorities have already been informed
Now there is new hope. A Ticino company registered the brand “Air Ticino”. He confirmed the concrete plans «Handelszeitung» for a new airline. The brand’s objective includes, inter alia, transportation and “devices for locomotion by land, air or water.”
The owner is Generalavia SA at Mendrisio TI. A company employee confirms the plans. They included a concept for a new airline and the joint operation of Ticino airfields. The authorities are informed. Currently there is nothing more to say.
Probable delays
One thing is certain: plans are likely to be delayed. Due to the crisis of the crown. And because the operating company of the Lugano-Agno airport is currently in an orderly liquidation.
