Swiss has announced plans to improve its offering of flights from
Manchester Airport to
Zurich in
Switzerland.
The airline announced that, from October 26th, it will operate its thrice-daily service between the two cities with an Airbus A319 in place of the current Fokker aircraft.
Offering 124 seats, the A319 will provide a 24 per cent capacity increase on Swiss' service from the north of England to
Zurich.
The change will also offer an increase in seat pitch and seat width for passengers in both economy and
business class.
Gregor Koncilja, Swiss' country manager for the UK and
Ireland, said the decision to boost the service was made in response to "continuously increasing seat load factors".
He added: "We have found the route ever more popular with business and leisure travellers alike and Swiss is looking forward to flying an ever-increasing number of passengers from the Manchester area to Zurich and onwards to our network of 76 destinations worldwide.
"Swiss is really pleased to be offering our customers in north-west England and northern Wales the added comfort and increased seat width of the A319s and are delighted at this concrete indicator of our growing market share out of Manchester."
