In the summer timetable, which runs from March 26 to October 28, 2023, SWISS will serve a total of 112 destinations from Zurich and Geneva, it said in a statementExternal link on Tuesday.

“On the intercontinental front, the emphasis will be on the destinations in North America which are in high demand, while services to Asia will also be strengthened as the region increasingly opens up,” it said.
