SWISS' Singapore-Zurich flight takes off

SWISS International Air Lines' (SWISS) direct Singapore-Zurich service is launching today, marking the return of the airline to Singapore Changi Airport after a four-year hiatus.

The daily flight will be operated using an Airbus A340-300 aircraft, seating 219 passengers in a three-class configuration, and departs from Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminal Two.

Out of Singapore, flights leave Changi at 23.10 and land in Zurich at 06.10, while Singapore-bound flights depart Zurich at 22.45 to touch down in Singapore at 17.15.

Tourism arrivals from South-east Asia have grown 30 per cent over the last three years.

Urs Eberhard, executive vice president, Switzerland Tourism, said: “We expect a further positive quantitative impact of an additional five to 10 per cent growth from this region and Australia due to the new direct SWISS flight.”
