Swiss has launched five weekly flights from Toronto to Zurich that will operate throughout the summer season. Toronto becomes one of two Canadian gateways with Swiss service, the other being Montreal. With this new flight, and the recent addition of flights to Washington DC from Zurich, Swiss is expanding its route network throughout North America.
Heike Birlenbach, chief commercial officer, said, “With this new Toronto flight, we have increased our footprint in North America to 10 gateways.”
The Toronto flight is one of three new intercontinental routes Swiss is launching for the season, with Washington DC-Zurich having begun on March 28 and Seoul-Zurich on May 8.
Swiss Flight LX81 departs Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson International Airport at 4:25 p.m. and arrives in Zurich at 6:30 a.m. the following day. Swiss Flight LX80 departs Zurich Airport at 9:55 a.m. and arrives in Toronto at 1 p.m. All times are local. The seasonal flights will be operated five times a week by an A330-300 long-haul aircraft with 236 seats in a three-class configuration. Image: Shutterstock
