Bristol Airport recently launched a new route between the city and Zurich. The inaugural flight of Swiss International Air Lines took off on early February and the airline has already announced it will increase flight frequency from spring.
The service will link business travel with one of the world’s leading financial centres as well as opening up the international hub for more long-haul destinations. It will also build the tourism market for Bristol and the South West region, according to Visit West’s managing director, Kathryn Davis.
She said that in 2019 there were more than 38,000 visits from Swiss tourists to Bristol, over half of which were holiday visits. She added: “This new route provides a huge opportunity to further develop and rebuild our inbound European visitor market... Pre-pandemic, Switzerland was one of the region’s larger inbound markets and Bristol one of the most popular UK cities with Swiss visitors.”
