Edelweiss will launch new direct route to Zürich ahead of winter 2025
The Swiss airline Edelweiss has announced that they will establish at Luleå Airport with a new, direct route to Zürich starting 19th December. Edelweiss, a member of the Lufthansa Group, will operate the new route once a week, further connecting the northern parts of Sweden with Switzerland ahead of winter 2025.
The announcement from Edelweiss will be most welcome news for those who wish to experience the northern lights in Swedish Lapland as well as for those who wish to experience skiing in the Alps. The new, direct route will serve as an important connection between the northern parts of Sweden and the European continent, thus benefiting those who travel for business, leisure or to visit family and friends.
- I’m delighted to welcome Edelweiss to Luleå Airport. Zürich is a very popular destination for many reasons, and as we see an increased interest in all that Swedish Lapland and Luleå has to offer, I expect this route to preform very well, says Elizabeth Axtelius, Director Aviation Business at Swedavia. Our main goal is to increase the connectivity and facilitate for people to meet, whether it is for business, leisure or to visit family and friends and this new direct route will be an important part of this, says she.
- Holidays in northern Europe have become increasingly popular among Swiss travelers in recent years, and Edelweiss has expanded its range of services to that direction. We are delighted to be able to offer our guests a direct connection to Swedish Lapland for the first time with Luleå, says Patrick Heymann, Chief Commercial Officer Edelweiss.
