The first flight on SWISS's new Delhi route took off from Zurich yesterday with 211 passengers on board. The flight - numbered LX 146 and operated by Airbus A330-200 "HB-IQK" - marks the first time the young company has added a further long-haul destination to its route network. With the new flights, together with the existing Zurich-Mumbai service, SWISS customers now have a choice of two daily non-stop connections between Switzerland and India.
It is the current demand-driven expansion of its long-haul fleet that is enabling SWISS to add Delhi and Shanghai to its intercontinental route network. Service to Shanghai will commence next May. The new service, which is operated with Airbus A330-200 equipment, joins the existing Zurich-Mumbai operation to offer SWISS customers two daily services between Switzerland and India, and should enable SWISS to strengthen its presence and position in the growing Indian market. Delhi becomes SWISS's 28th intercontinental destination.
