SWISS celebrates inaugural flight to Bengaluru
Today at 1:34 p.m., SWISS flight LX140 departed Zurich for Bengaluru for the first time. With five weekly nonstop flights, we are connecting Switzerland with one of India’s most dynamic technology and business hubs. The new route opens up exciting opportunities for our guests, whether they are traveling for business, visiting family and friends, or exploring southern India.
On the occasion of the inaugural flight, SWISS CEO Jens Fehlinger said:
“With Bengaluru, we are launching more than just a new flight route. We are creating new opportunities for our guests, for Swiss companies, and for Switzerland as a business location. India is a market with enormous potential, and Bengaluru is one of Asia’s leading technology and innovation hubs. Alongside Delhi and Mumbai, Bengaluru is our third destination in India. We are making a targeted investment in the growth of our long-haul network while also strengthening Switzerland’s international connectivity. In an increasingly interconnected world, personal encounters and direct exchanges are more important than ever.”
