Headquarters

Zurich, Switzerland

Belair Airlines was a Swiss charter airline that operated leisure flights primarily for tour operators and travel groups. Founded in 2001, the carrier was based in Zurich and served popular holiday destinations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The airline operated as a subsidiary of Hotelplan, a major Swiss tour operator, which gave it a strong connection to the package holiday market. Belair positioned itself as a dedicated charter carrier rather than a scheduled airline, meaning its flights were closely tied to tour operator bookings. Belair Airlines ceased operations in October 2012 following financial difficulties and strategic decisions by its parent company. Its closure was part of broader restructuring within Hotelplan's aviation activities.

Hubs & network

Belair Airlines operated primarily out of Zurich Airport (ZRH) and Basel-Mulhouse Airport (BSL).
