Swiss International Air Lines has announced new nonstop flights between Bengaluru and Zurich, further enhancing connectivity between Switzerland and India’s leading technology and innovation hub.
The new service will commence in October 2026 and operate five times weekly, offering travellers direct connectivity between southern India and SWISS’s global hub in Zurich, with onward connections across Europe and North America through the broader Lufthansa Group network.
Bengaluru will become SWISS’s newest destination in India, reflecting the carrier’s continued expansion strategy across 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.
Kevin Markette, Lufthansa Group Senior Director – Regional Sales South Asia, said, “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, alongside Frankfurt and Munich, this new SWISS service significantly enhances connectivity for travellers 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 via our Zurich hub.”
Passengers on the new route will have access to SWISS’s premium travel experience across First, Business and Economy Class, including premium lounge facilities, Swiss-inspired cuisine and streamlined transfer connectivity through Zurich Airport.
Girish Nair, Chief Operating Officer, Bangalore International Airport Limited, said, “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. This non-stop link meets surging corporate and leisure demand, connecting India’s Silicon Valley with a premier global financial capital. Supported by BLR Airport’s domestic network spanning 78 destinations, the new service will also enable efficient single-ticket transfers for passengers across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.”
Tickets for the new Zurich–Bengaluru service are now available for booking through the official SWISS website and authorised travel agency partners.
