SriLankan Airlines will restart services to the Swiss city of Zurich on 23rd December 2011, the latest destination in the continuous expansion of its global route network as per a report in Lankapuvath.
Zurich would be the 53rd destination in SriLankan’s global route network which would then span 34 countries. The Airline has in the past 10 months launched services to Shanghai, Guangzhou and Kochi, with a new Moscow service scheduled in September 2011.
Zurich was served by Sri Lanka’s National Carrier for a quarter of a century from 1980, but the service was suspended in 2005 during a global slump in air travel. SriLankan Airlines Chairman, Nishantha Wickremasinghe said this will significantly strengthen the services to travelers in central Europe, which is viewed as a market with great potential for tourism to Sri Lanka.
The Zurich service would be operated on wide-bodied Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft with luxurious interiors, Flat Bed Seating, and state of the art Audio Video On Demand (AVOD) entertainment systems. The new service will initially be twice-weekly on Monday and Friday and would be increased in the future.
