NATIONAL carrier Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) will begin daily non-stop flights between Singapore and Zurich in May 2013.
Departing Singapore at 23.05, the plane will land in Zurich at 06.10 the following day. The flight leaves Zurich at 22.45 to reach Singapore at 17.10 the next day on the return leg.
The 219-seater Airbus 340-300 will service the route. Flights will be available for booking on SWISS’ website and all further reservations channels and outlets from October 8 onwards.
“Singapore is one of Switzerland’s most important intercontinental markets, and one that has seen constant growth over the past few years,” said Magdalene Ong, country manager Singapore, SWISS.
“By providing our new daily service to Singapore, we aim to meet this substantial demand. Our new non-stop flights between two of the leading business and financial centres in Europe and South-east Asia will ideally complement the existing services offered by our Star Alliance partners.”
Ivan Breiter, director for South-east Asia, Switzerland Tourism, said: “This new SWISS service will enable us to position Switzerland even better as an ideal and easy-to-reach vacation and congress destination.”
