Direct flights between India and Switzerland resume; Singapore Airlines brings back its A380

NEW DELHI: Omicron may have delayed resumption of regular international flights but India’s connectivity with the world is growing under the bubble system.
For the first time since March 2020, India will again be directly connected with Switzerland from next year. Swiss will start Zurich-Mumbai twice-weekly nonstops from January 10. The airline will connect Delhi with Zurich from March, 2022.
Indian and German carriers can now have 15 flights (by each side) weekly, up from 10 earlier. Air India and Vistara can have 15 flights between India and Germany and so can Lufthansa. The German mega carrier is using the queen of the skies, Boeing 747, on Frankfurt to Delhi and Bengaluru and Airbus A340 on Mumbai route.
