SWISS will soon be touching down in Canada’s largest city and the U.S. capital when it launches nonstop flights between Toronto (YYZ) and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Zurich (ZRH) next year.

The Swiss flag carrier is eager to offer more travel opportunities than ever as travel continues to rebound after the pandemic.

“The demand for air travel continues to steadily rise, and the loadings on our flights are now higher than they have ever been before,” said Tamur Goudarzi Pour, Chief Commercial Officer at SWISS.

Here are the details of SWISS’ new routes to North America.
