SWISS is quite the unique airline. It combines long haul services with an extremely high quality product to quite an extensive European network, with the peculiarity of having an almost non existing domestic market. The airline, as its predecessor, Swissair, is a great option for incoming tourists to the EU. This will be even more the case in summer 2024 as the airline opens 2 new destinations in northern Europe.
In this post:
- Geneva to Oslo Added to The Swiss Network for Summer 2024
- Bremen To Zurich Confirmed and Prolonged to Summer 2024
Geneva to Oslo Added to The Swiss Network for Summer 2024
Although Oslo is already served by Swiss it only has flights to its primary hub in Zurich international airport. Starting summer 2024 the norther German city will also have flights to the airlines’ secondary hub in Geneva international airport.
The flight will mainly cater to intraeuropean passenger traffic as Geneva doesn’t have a significant number of long range intercontinental flights. The airport has only 1 transatlantic flight to New York JFK and that’s about it.
The flight will operate under number LX1290 with a 3 times weekly frequency. Flights will operate every:
- Tuesday
- Thursday
- Saturday
With the flight served by the airline’s fleet of Airbus A220-300s following this schedule:
| Flight Number | Departure Airport | Airport Code | Departure Time | Arrival Airport | Airport Code | Arrival Time | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | LX1290 | Geneva | GVA | 13:55 | Oslo | OSL | 16:35 |
| LX1291 | Oslo | OSL | 17:25 | Geneva | GVA | 20:05 |
Bremen To Zurich Confirmed and Prolonged to Summer 2024
On the other hand the extension of the Zurich to Bremen service into the summer season of 2024 also cater to the incoming traffic of extra-EU tourists. 2023 saw a great influx of travellers from north America make their way to Europe for their summer holidays and indications let many believe that the same might happen even in 2024.
Therefore expanding the European destinations Swiss serves also makes it a more appealing option for those travellers looking to make a one stop journey to northern Germany.
It must be noted that the flight LX854 from Zurich to Bremen will be operated by the regional subsidiary Helvetic Airways on its new generation Embraer E195-E2 jets.
In this case the flight will have a 4 times weekly frequency with connections available every:
- Monday
- Wednesday
- Thursday
- Sunday
| Flight Number | Departure Airport | Airport Code | Departure Time | Arrival Airport | Airport Code | Arrival Time | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LX854 | Zurich | ZRH | 17:40 | Bremen | BRE | 19:15 |
| LX855 | Bremen | BRE | 20:15 | Zurich | ZRH | 21:40 |
