On Tuesday (May 19, 2026), Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) announced the launch of first-ever service to Bengaluru, India for the winter 2026/27 season.  This will be the airline’s third destination in India, complementing existing service to Delhi and Mumbai.  The route will operate five times weekly, on all days except Mondays and Wednesdays.  Flight LX 140 will depart from Zurich at 13:20 and arrive in Bengaluru some nine hours later at 02:55+1.  The return flight, LX 141, will leave Bengaluru daily at 04:50 and arrive in Zurich at 10:50 the same day.  In total, SWISS will serve 88 destinations worldwide from Zurich and Geneva in the coming winter timetable period.


In Tuesday’s announcement, SWISS’ CEO, Jens Fehlinger, said,


“We are delighted that, with Bengaluru, we will soon be providing our customers with another attractive and multi-faceted long-haul destination.  India’s Silicon Valley has a lot to offer both leisure and business travelers, and is also a perfect gateway for exploring Southern India.  Our new Bengaluru service is particularly aimed at meeting the growing demand among the business community for direct flights to this major technology hub.”


Additionally, the carrier will extend services with their new Airbus A350 fleet from Zurich to Johannesburg and Shanghai from early September, allowing more long-haul travelers to enjoy the new ‘SWISS Senses’ service product with its state-of-the-art cabin and its enhanced air travel experience.  SWISS will serve 60 European and 24 intercontinental destinations from Zurich in the coming winter timetable period.  The carrier expects their new long-haul Airbus A350 fleet to grow to a total of five aircraft by the end of 2026.


In addition to long-haul service to and from New York, SWISS’s Geneva network will extend to 15 short-haul destinations.  For winter 2026/27, Berlin, Hamburg and Pristina will not be served from Geneva due to the continuing limited availability worldwide of aircraft and engine parts for the SWISS’ Airbus A220 fleet.
