Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) will launch a new seasonal service between Cork and Zurich in summer.

The airline will operate a weekly service from Cork from June onwards and a twice-weekly service during the peak holiday months of July and August.

SWISS plans to operate a selection of its new non-stop Cork services with its short-and medium-haul fleet, among them its advanced new Bombardier C Series 100 twinjet. SWISS was the first airline in the world to operate this newly-developed aircraft. It sets new industry benchmarks in inflight comfort, innovation and technology, so this summer SWISS passengers can sit back, relax and look forward to their alpine getaway.

Andreas Köster, senior director Sales UK, Ireland, Iceland said: “We are delighted to be offering a new seasonal service from Southern Ireland and hope the introduction of this service will provide our customers with a convenient and affordable way to visit the many beautiful regions of Switzerland during the summer season.”
