Zurich (ZRH) based Swiss International Air Lines, or simply SWISS, has announced six new destinations from its focus city of Geneva (GVA) for summer 2020.

Formed after the bankruptcy of Swissair, the Basel Mulhouse Freiburg headquartered airline is a part of the Lufthansa Group and is a member of the Star Alliance.

Operating out of the French-speaking part of Switzerland, SWISS has added six attractive holiday destinations to its network starting in June of 2020.

SWISS to offer non-stop flights to the Azores

Starting on June 22nd SWISS will be flying from Geneva to Rhodes (Greece), Djerba (Tunisia), Dubrovnik (Croatia), Menorca (Spain), Antalya (Turkey), and Ponta Delgada in the Azores archipelago.

These new routes will mean that SWISS now offers 53 non-stop flights from the airline's focus city of Geneva.

Ponta Delgada

Flights to João Paulo II Airport (PDL) on the island of São Miguel will be offered every Monday from June 22nd until August 31st. These flights give SWISS the distinction of being the only airline offering non-stop flights from Geneva to the Portuguese speaking mid-Atlantic archipelago. Cape Verdean national flag carrier Cabo Verde Airlines is currently expanding its network with a stopover strategy similar to Icelandair, but does not offer flights to Switzerland.

Antalya

Bound to be a big hit with holidaymakers due to its tourist infrastructure and the weakness of the Turkish Lira, SWISS will be flying to the Mediterranean resort of Antalya from 26 June to 23 October. Located on Turkey’s southwest coast, Antalya has become a popular all-inclusive holiday destination for families.

While in Mallorca be sure and visit the capital Mahón known for its British Georgian houses. Menorca has the second largest deep-water harbor in the world and was ruled by Great Britain for nearly 110 years.
