SWISS to offer its first-ever service to Bengaluru, India | aviationbizz.com
SWISS will be further expanding its network in the 2026/27 winter schedules with a new service to Bengaluru, its first ever to a destination in Southern India.
SWISS will serve a total of 88 destinations worldwide from Zurich and Geneva in the coming winter timetable period. The company will also be extending services with its new Airbus A350 fleet to Johannesburg and Shanghai. So even more long-haul travelers will be able to enjoy its new ‘SWISS Senses’ service product with its state-of-the-art cabin and its enhanced air travel experience.
Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) will be further expanding its long-haul network in the coming winter schedules with the introduction of a new five-times-weekly service to Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) in Southern India. Bengaluru is SWISS’s third Indian destination, joining Delhi and Mumbai.
Bengaluru: new to the SWISS network
The new Bengaluru service will be the first in SWISS’s history to India’s fourth-largest city. Bengaluru is one of Asia’s leading centers of technology and innovation. Along with international tech corporations, numerous European companies operate in the Bengaluru region, which has developed in the past few years into a major high-tech and innovation hub.
“We are delighted that, with Bengaluru, we will soon be providing our customers with another attractive and multi-faceted long-haul destination,” says SWISS CEO Jens Fehlinger. “India’s Silicon Valley has a lot to offer both leisure and business travelers, and is also a perfect gateway for exploring Southern India. Our new Bengaluru service is particularly aimed at meeting the growing demand among the business community for direct flights to this major technology hub.”
The new eastbound LX 140 service will depart from Zurich daily (except Mondays and Wednesdays) at 13:20 and arrive in Bengaluru some nine hours later at 02:55 the following day. The westbound LX 141 service will leave Bengaluru daily (except Tuesdays and Thursdays) at 04:50 and arrive in Zurich at 10:50 the same day.
