🇨🇭 About the Airline
Balair was a Swiss charter airline founded in 1953, operating leisure flights from Switzerland to holiday destinations across Europe, Africa, and beyond. Known for its distinctive livery combining blue fuselage stripes with green 'balair' titles, the airline was a subsidiary of Swissair. Balair later merged with CTA to form Balair/CTA before eventually being integrated into what became Switzerland's current leisure carrier. Models in Balair livery are sought after by collectors due to the airline's historical significance in Swiss aviation.
