SWISS said it will resume flying between Zurich and Shanghai on March 3 after an almost year-long suspension
The first month will see one flight a week before an expansion to three flights per week in April.
“We’re delighted that we’ll soon be providing our customers with flights between Zurich and Shanghai again,” says SWISS chief commercial officer Tamur Goudarzi Pour. “It’s a high priority for us to meet the demand that is now growing again for travel between these two major business centres and beyond. Shanghai remains one of the key points in our network in terms of both inbound and outbound travellers.”
The route was put on hold in April 2022 due to China's pandemic border restrictions.
SWISS is to add to its Zurich service to and from Hong Kong, taking it from five to six flights a week in summer 2023.
