SWISS Announces Direct Flights From Bengaluru to Switzerland

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), part of the Lufthansa Group, is set to launch a non-stop service between Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport and Zurich Airport on October 28, 2026. The service will operate five times a week in each direction. The first flight from Bengaluru is scheduled to depart at 4:50 a.m. on October 28 and arrive in Zurich at 10:50 a.m. the same day. The inaugural flight from Zurich is scheduled to depart at 1:20 p.m. on October 27 and arrive in Bengaluru at 2:55 a.m. the following day. With this launch, Bengaluru will become SWISS’s third destination in India, after Delhi and Mumbai, and gain South India’s first direct air link to Switzerland.

The new route is expected to benefit business travellers, tourists and passengers connecting to other destinations. Bengaluru’s technology and innovation sectors could gain from improved links with Switzerland, while Zurich will offer convenient onward connections to destinations across Europe and North America. Indian travellers visiting Switzerland will need a valid Schengen visa, with applications handled through the Swiss visa application system in India.
