SWISS returns to Changi Airport after 4-year hiatus

SWISS will operate daily Zurich-Singapore flights.

According to a release, Changi Airport Group (CAG) announced the return of SWISS to Singapore Changi Airport.

The Switzerland flag-carrier will operate daily Zurich-Singapore services ultilising the 219-seat Airbus A340-300 aircraft in Featuring an end of day departure out of Changi and Zurich airports, SWISS’ flight schedule is ideally timed to meet the needs of business and leisure travellers.

Apart from the opportunity to maximise their day in the city, travellers can also connect easily to and from 35 European cities in SWISS’ network and 87 destinations in Southeast-Asia and Southwest-Pacific from Changi Airport.

Time-sensitive business travellers will also benefit from SWISS’ early morning arrival into Zurich.

After a four-year hiatus, the return of SWISS at Changi Airport is a result of the close collaboration between CAG and the airline, together with the support of the Embassy of Switzerland in Singapore.

Over the past six months, CAG has also jointly organised campaigns and marketing activities in Geneva and Zurich with SWISS and the Singapore Tourism Board to promote the carrier’s new Singapore service.

The commencement of SWISS’ operations in Singapore will boost Changi Airport’s connectivity to Europe.

Together with Singapore Airlines’ increase in frequency to Moscow later this month, Changi Airport will be connected to 14 major European cities via more than 300 weekly flights and 52,000 weekly one-way seats.

With the Swiss population in Singapore being the largest in an Asian city, the arrival of the country’s flag-carrier has been warmly received by the Swiss community.
