SWISS International Air Lines will commence nonstop flights connecting Zurich and Bengaluru starting in October 2026. These services are scheduled to operate five days a week, offering a direct link that avoids layovers in other European or Middle Eastern hubs.

Kevin Markette, Lufthansa Group Senior Director for South Asia, highlighted India's strategic importance and expressed excitement for SWISS's arrival in Bengaluru, a prominent center for technology and innovation. He noted this new service as the Lufthansa Group's third gateway from the city, enhancing connectivity for southern Indian travelers.
Girish Nair, Chief Operating Officer of Bangalore International Airport Limited, views the direct BLR-ZRH service as a testament to Bengaluru's market maturity and its long-term economic potential.
