Bengaluru will be the airline's third Indian destination after Delhi and Mumbai thanks to the new route, which will run five times a week.

There Will Be More Airbus A350 Flights
Additionally, SWISS is increasing the usage of its new Airbus A350 aircraft throughout its long-haul network.
The airline intends to introduce A350 services to Johannesburg and Shanghai during the winter schedule season, following the introduction of the aircraft on routes to Boston and Seoul.
The aircraft will include the airline's revised "SWISS Senses" cabin offering, which features improved in-flight comfort and redesigned seats for all travel classes.
Network Plans for Winter 2026–2027
According to the airline, during the winter of 2026–2027, it will serve 88 destinations from Zurich and Geneva. From Zurich alone, there are 24 intercontinental and 60 European routes.
However, due to persistent aircraft and engine part shortages impacting the Airbus A220 fleet, certain Geneva services will be discontinued. There will be no flights from Geneva to Berlin, Hamburg, or Pristina in the winter.
The winter schedule for 2026–2027 will run from October 25, 2026, to March 27, 2027.
