On Wednesday (June 25, 2025), Edelweiss celebrated the launch of their inaugural flight between Zurich and Terceira in the Azores with a festive ceremony at Zurich Airport.  The traditional ribbon cutting ceremony was overseen by Edelweiss’ Manager – Network Planning & Development, Céline Vautravers, Zurich Airport’s VP – Aviation Development, Rolf Hancock, along with Edelweiss crew members.  The summer seasonal route will now operate once weekly on Wednesdays through September 10, 2025. 


Terceira captivates visitors with its picturesque volcanic landscape, green hills, historic towns and impressive coastline. Terceira is a paradise for nature lovers, hiking enthusiasts and anyone looking for relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of mass tourism.  The island also boasts the Azores’ oldest city, Angra do Heroísmo, the historical capital of the Azores and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is home to the main insular Portuguese Air Force base, and one of two main sea ports.  The Portuguese bullfight is also popular on Terceira, both in the ring, and also the ‘touradas à corda’, which occur in the streets.

The airline reliably ensures a pleasant and carefree travel time to the holiday destination and looks after the safety and well-being of its guests with commitment and cordiality.
