SWISS expands India network with new non-stop Bengaluru-Zurich service | News
Swiss International Air Lines is pleased to announce the launch of new non-stop flights between Bengaluru and Zurich, further enhancing connectivity between Switzerland and India’s leading technology and innovation centre.
The new service will operate five times a week from October 2026, offering customers seamless access between southern India and SWISS’s global hub in Zurich, with onward connections across Europe and North America via the Lufthansa Group network.
Bengaluru will be SWISS’s newest destination in India and reflects the airline’s continued focus on expanding its presence in strategically important growth markets. The new route is designed to meet strong demand from business travellers, the technology sector, premium leisure customers and the growing Indian diaspora across Europe and beyond.
According to Kevin Markette, Lufthansa Group Senior Director – Regional Sales South Asia:
“India remains a strategically important market for the Lufthansa Group and we are delighted to welcome Swiss International Air Lines to Bengaluru – one of the world’s leading technology and innovation hubs. As our third Lufthansa Group gateway from the city, joining Frankfurt and Munich, this new SWISS service significantly improves connectivity for travelers from southern India. Customers can now enjoy a truly premium Swiss travel experience – including First Class on every flight – combined with seamless access to Europe and North America through our hub in Zurich.”
Passengers traveling on this new route will enjoy SWISS’s award-winning onboard service in First, Business and Economy Class, including premium lounges, high-quality Swiss cuisine and effortless onward connections through Zurich Airport.
As highlighted by Girish Nair, Chief Operating Officer of Bangalore International Airport Limited: “The introduction of SWISS’ direct BLR-ZRH service is a strong validation of the market maturity and long-term potential that Bengaluru continues to demonstrate. Catering to rising business and leisure demand, this non-stop connection connects India’s Silicon Valley to a leading global financial capital. Supported by BLR Airport’s domestic network covering 78 destinations, the new service will also provide efficient one-ticket transfers for passengers across enabling all of Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.”
SWISS’s new Bengaluru service reinforces Lufthansa Group’s broader commitment to the Indian market, where the Group continues to expand connectivity and choice for customers through its portfolio of airlines, with more than 70 weekly flights in the winter 2026 schedule.
