From summer 2025, Swiss will be expanding its route network and offering its passengers new direct connections from Zurich to Niš (Serbia), Heringsdorf on the German island of Usedom, Montpellier in France and the Croatian tourist hotspot of Dubrovnik.

Heike Birlenbach, Chief Commercial Officer at Swiss, says: "Continuously improving our flight program to align with customer demand is very important to us. That’s why we are always working to enhance our offerings and make meaningful additions."

During the peak summer months of July and August, Swiss will fly to Niš on Mondays and Thursdays, to Heringsdorf on Saturdays and to Montpellier on Mondays and Fridays.

From 17 April 2025, the Swiss airline will also be flying to Dubrovnik. Swiss will take over this route from its sister company Edelweiss and will offer it throughout the summer flight schedule until the end of October. Up to five weekly flights are planned.
