SWISS has pushed back the restart of its Zurich–Dubai flights to the end of the winter schedule on 27 March 2027, while adding back a second daily Zurich–Delhi service from 2 December.
The Lufthansa Group carrier said it had decided, together with the group, to suspend the planned resumption of Dubai services for operational reasons. Flights had been due to restart on 25 November. Affected passengers will be told of the cancellations and rebooked on alternative flights, and SWISS said its customer service centre is available around the clock.
On the Delhi route, SWISS will reinstate its expanded schedule from 2 December until the end of the winter season, adding a second daily flight alongside its regular daily service. The extra rotation will mostly be operated by an Airbus A340.
India has become a growth market for SWISS, which launched Zurich–Bengaluru flights in October as its third Indian route after Delhi and Mumbai.
The Dubai delay comes as European carriers remain cautious on the Gulf. Lufthansa Group said higher jet fuel prices tied to the Middle East conflict added €543mn to its third-quarter costs, British Airways earlier extended suspensions across seven Middle East routes, and capacity at UAE full-service airlines is still 15% to 25% below pre-war levels.
