Baboo to continue operating until 2011 consolidation; 52 employees reportedly laid off

Darwin, Swiss regional airline based in Ticino, is buying out Baboo, in a bid to strengthen its position. It expects to double its balance sheet from CHF40 to 80 million, with more than half a million passengers a year. The company will continue to fly Baboo’s network and will retain the name Baboo for some of its products. The deal, for an undisclosed sum, will be completed in early 2011.

The enlarged Darwin airline will have more than 20 destinations, mainly in Switzerland, Italy and France, and to some extent other European countries.


It will fly 6 SAAB 2000 planes and 2 Dash 8 Q-400 Bombardier planes. Darwin will continue to use Lugano as its base, with an operating base in Geneva.

The companies do not mention layoffs in their press releases, but the ats news agency reports that 52 employees will be laid off in Geneva, of Baboo’s 167. Mark Darby, chief executive officer, told ats that the layoffs are part of restructuring to reduce costs, and are not linked to Darwin’s purchase. Darby plans to leave the company once the purchase by Darwin is completed.

Din cate stiu au CodeShare cu Tarom

Pe langa 'prezenta scenica' ma gandesc ce va fi la nivelul preturilor la bilete. Brusc, de la aproape 4 curse zilnice acum un an (LX la ZRH si GVA, RO la ZRH si Baboo la GVA) ramanem cu un singur zbor zilnic intre Romania si Elvetia, care se reduce de la A320 la Avrojet din martie...

LH dar mai ales Malev cred ca-si "freaca mainile" deja la gandul pasagerilor preluati.
