Friday, 26 February 2021 05:15

SWISS International Airlines has revealed its new schedule for the next few months – and its clear it doesn’t expect everyone to return to mass flying anytime soon.

The airline says the recovery remains delayed.

It will run only 37% of its capacity it had at the same time last year.

But it is expanding its European offering, with more flights to Berlin, Naples, Palma, Barcelona and Greece and a further 43 destinations from Geneva.

It will continue services to Miami and Boston as well as Cairo.

The airline says it doubts it will even start to return to normal operations by the end of the summer at the earliest.
