Using its two-class configured Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, Air India will operate on the new European route on four days every week - Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Air India’s new service will provide travellers in Switzerland, as well as those in southern Germany and western Austria with a non-stop option to travel to Delhi and onward to destinations across Air India’s route network, particularly in the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Australia.
Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer, Air India said, "This new route strengthens the ties between India and Switzerland, which are not only major trading partners, but also boast a vibrant exchange of people. With over 250 Swiss companies operating in India, hundreds of Indian companies in Switzerland and a growing Indian diaspora of nearly 18,000, these flights will cater to a strong demand for business and leisure travel in both directions.”
“Switzerland, a consistently top-ranking European destination for Indian tourists, will now be even more accessible, with these flights further solidifying the economic and cultural bridges between the two nations,” Wilson added.
Air India currently operates a total of 60 weekly flights to and from six cities in mainland Europe, namely Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Milan, Paris and Vienna.
