The Regional Aerodrome Bern-Belp , (marketing designation 'Bern Airport', officially referred to as in German), is a regional aerodrome serving Bern, the capital of Switzerland. The aerodrome is located within the town limits of Belp, and features flights to some European metropolitan and several leisure destinations. It handled 183,319 passengers in 2016, a decrease of 3.5 percent over 2015. It was the home base of now defunct SkyWork Airlines whose grounding caused the aerodrome to lose more than 1/3 of its turnover. Currently the charter operator Helvetic Airways offers certain flights during the holiday season, the Swiss Federal Government's air transport service Lufttransportdienst des Bundes have based two business jets at the aerodrome, the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service operator REGA has one of its bases at Belp and two helicopter transport companies as well as two flying schools (one motorised, one for gliders) operate at the aerodrome. * Source: Wikipedia
