The airline currently operates up to eight weekly flights between the two cities all-year-round, offering passengers convenient and flexible travel options for leisure and business trips, as well as onward connections to Europe and beyond.

At the same time, its central location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring other parts of the country. With convenient connections through our partner airlines, Zurich also provides opportunities to travel onwards to destinations around the world.”
