SWISS ups network with 34 more destinations

SWISS is bringing 34 more destinations to its route network, with the first kicking off with its summer schedules.

SWISS will be introducing service to 22 new destinations from its Zurich hub with the start of the 2015 schedules on March 29.

Many of the new routes are intended as “point-to-point” connections, while others will receive seasonal service during the summer months. Frequencies will also be increased on a number of existing European and intercontinental routes.

Many of the new points will strengthen SWISS’s non-stop services to and from neighbouring countries: Leipzig and Dresden in Germany, Toulouse in France and Graz in Austria.

And for Italy the seasonal service to Palermo introduced in 2014 becomes a year-round affair, while Bari, Naples and Brindisi are also added to the network.

The new points from Zurich further include a number of vacation destinations such as Thessaloniki, Izmir, Malta, Bilbao and Porto, among others.

SWISS will also be increasing its frequencies on a number of existing routes from Zurich to Copenhagen, Hamburg, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Stockholm and Valencia for the coming summer months.

On its intercontinental network SWISS will be raising its frequencies between Zurich and San Francisco to 13 weekly flights – almost two a day – in the July and August peak summer season.

Service will also be expanded from Geneva, bringing SWISS’s Geneva-based network to 42 destinations with year-round services to six new destinations.

Florence receives four new weekly services, while Valencia, Sarajevo and Skopje will each have two weekly flights. Algiers and Dublin will also receive new non-stop service from Geneva.

The range of SWISS services from Geneva is further supplemented by a number of attractive seasonal destinations: Biarritz, Calvi, Palermo, Thessaloniki and Zakynthos will all be served in Summer 2015.

SWISS will also serve various leisure destinations all over the world in partnership with its sister carrier Edelweiss in the summer of 2015. In addition to such popular long-haul destinations as Havana, Vancouver and Las Vegas, frequencies will also be increased to a number of European beach-holiday resorts.

Antalya, Larnaca, Olbia, Split and Ibiza will all receive more frequencies, while Faro and Catania will join the network as early as next month. Podgorica and Kerkyra (Corfu) will also be added to the network.

The new routes bring the SWISS network to 106 destinations (80 in Europe and 26 farther afield) in 49 countries. The 2015 summer schedules will be in effect from 29 March to 24 October. Full details are available at swiss.com.
