Switzerland re-opens its European borders
This content was published on
On June 15 Switzerland re-opened its borders with many other European states after improvements to the coronavirus situation.
Connections to Scandinavia are also being increased with flights to Gothenburg and Copenhagen. SWISS will also be adding further major European destinations to its programme, such as Paris, Brussels and Moscow. The existing services to Amsterdam, Athens, Berlin, Lisbon, London, Porto and Stockholm will be expanded.
A further expansion of the offer is planned over the summer months based on the travel needs and preferences of customers, it said.
Last week, the airline announced an estimated 140 flights from Zurich and around 40 flights from Geneva. This corresponds to 15-20% of the airline’s original offer.
Long-haul
SWISS will also be offering new intercontinental direct connections in June, in addition to its three weekly services to New York/Newark.
It plans to offer flights from Zurich to New York JFK (four times weekly), Chicago (twice weekly), Singapore (once weekly), Bangkok (once weekly), Tokyo (twice weekly), Mumbai (three times weekly), Hong Kong (twice weekly) and Johannesburg (once weekly).
Swiss WorldCargo, SWISS’s air cargo division, will carry additional cargo on these flights to support the global supply chains. The flight times of the intercontinental connections have thus been adjusted.
