SWISS enhances London City services
Swiss International Air Lines has added an early morning departure from London City Airport to Zurich.
The 0700 departure starts on April 10 with an additional 20.00 return, giving the airline flights between the two financial centres at roughly two-hour intervals.
SWISS will offer daily UK connections to and from Tokyo via Zurich after increasing its weekly frequencies from six to seven in February. From mid-July, the carrier will also provide daily services to Los Angeles, Santiago and Johannesburg via Zurich. All these destinations were previously served six times a week.
SWISS has already upgraded its premium class cabins and broadened its online service.
A European Airbus fleet upgrade was completed in February and a general improvement of Avro RJ 100 cabin interiors is underway. The aircraft are being given new leather-covered seats and a more spacious five-abreast configuration for greater in-flight comfort.
The lower weight of the new seats help reduce each flight’s fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, according to the airline.
Enhancements to swiss.com give passengers a quicker overview of all fares and more options. Users can combine and compare the benefits and services of fares for flights in Swiss Economy or Swiss Business as well as seeing all applicable airport fees and surcharges.
UK and Ireland marketing and direct sales manager Iwan Kip said: “The UK and Ireland is an extremely important market for SWISS, especially given the significance of the connection between the financial hubs of London and Zurich.
“The first few months of this year have been a busy time for us and we are looking to maintain our levels or quality and innovation in preparation for the celebration of SWISS’s fifth anniversary in May 2007.”
