SWISS To Resume 20% Of Its Original Services Capacity In June
In the next few days and weeks, the entry requirements of various European countries will be gradually reopened. This has led to increased demand for air travel. Therefore, SWISS plans to significantly expand its services on the June schedule in accordance with respective countries entry requirements.
“We plan to restore approximately 15% to 20% of our original services in June, and we are very pleased to be able to provide Switzerland with more connections to the world.”
Swiss International Airlines CEO Thomas Kruhl
SWISS plans to operate about 140 weekly flights from Zurich to 30 destinations in Europe, and about 40 weekly flights from Geneva to 14 destinations in Europe. The airline will still provide long-haul flights to Newark, USA three times a week, and more intercontinental destinations will be added in June. In addition, Swiss International Air Lines and its Swiss WorldCargo division will continue to operate its cargo-only flights to destinations around the world.
Changes and additions to the June schedule will be announced soon in all reservation systems. According to the needs of customers, the expansion of flight schedules is proceeding gradually.
Starting Monday, May 4, 2020, all SWISS passengers will be required to bring their own face masks onboard all flights. The airline also recommends using masks at the airport before or after the flight if sufficient social distance cannot be observed. Despite the adjustments to the program, social distancing is not always possible, and this measure provides everyone with another layer of protection against SARS CoV2 transmission.
The recommendation will initially apply until August 31, 2020.
The current requirement for the second seat in Economy Class to remain vacant will no longer apply because the nose and mouth masks provide adequate protection. The probability of being infected with coronavirus while travelling by air is still very low: since the outbreak of the pandemic, there have been no known cases of infection on Swiss Airlines flights. All SWISS aircraft are equipped with high-performance air filters to ensure the same air quality as the operating room and to ensure vertical air circulation rather than diffusion in the cabin.
Swiss International Air Lines stated that it maintains close contact with relevant authorities to ensure the best protection for passengers and crew.
