SWISS expands Asia network to Singapore

27 Sep 2012 2038 | Business & Trade Fairs

A daily non-stop Singapore-Zurich service will be introduced in May as the central component of Swiss International Air Lines’ (SWISS) Asian network.

Singapore is a favourite among travellers, providing an ideal base or stopover point for key vacation destinations in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.

“This is a major development and one that we, our customers and our trade partners have long waited for,” SWISS Australia manager Anil Rodricks said.

“It demonstrates the confidence that SWISS has in the Australasia region.”

Singapore has also been identified as a clear hub leader for connections to Europe.

The new Singapore service will make for a total of six Asian gateways for SWISS’ Australian passengers.

SWISS has doubled the number of its Asian services over the past six years and remains confident that Asia will continue to be the transfer point of choice for Australian traffic to Europe.
