SWISS Commences Direct Flights from Seoul to Zurich, Strengthening Bilateral Ties

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) has inaugurated its first direct flight from Seoul to Zurich, marking a significant milestone in air travel between Switzerland and South Korea. The launch of flight LX123 from Seoul introduces non-stop service to Switzerland, providing Korean travelers with easy access to one of Europe's most picturesque destinations.

A New Gateway Opens

Switzerland, known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage, is now just a flight away for residents of Seoul. Zurich, the destination city for the new direct flights, combines natural beauty with a thriving cultural scene, making it a top choice for both leisure and business travelers.

Deepening Economic and Cultural Ties

The direct flight not only caters to tourists but also bolsters business interactions between the two nations.

Leandro Tonidandel, General Manager Korea at SWISS, emphasized the importance of this expansion, stating, "With 17 weekly flights, the Lufthansa Group now operates non-stop services to Frankfurt, Munich, and Zurich. We have connected Korea with Europe for 40 years, and introducing flights with the national airline of Switzerland underscores our commitment to this significant market."

Celebrating Six Decades of Partnership

The initiation of direct flights coincides with the 60th anniversary of bilateral relations between Korea and Switzerland, an occasion celebrated by both countries through various educational, economic, and cultural exchanges. The new route by SWISS is set to play a pivotal role in further enhancing these ties.
