Switzerland's national carrier Swiss extends its suspension of all services to Mainland China to the end of the winter schedules. In addition, capacities are reduced to and from Hong Kong.
The safety of its passengers and employees is always paramount at Swiss. After extensive assessments of all the latest information currently available on the impact of the new coronavirus, the Swiss national airline has decided, together with the Lufthansa Group, that all its services to and from Beijing and Shanghai will be canceled until the end of the winter timetable period on 28 March.
Such services had previously been suspended up until 29 February. Swiss will continue to monitor the situation carefully and is in constant contact with the authorities concerned.
In view of the current demand on the route, Swiss is also adjusting the capacities on its services to and from Hong Kong. These flights will be operated with Airbus A340-300 equipment (seating 223 passengers) in March instead of the (340-seat) Boeing 777-300ER. Passengers whose flight has been canceled can rebook free of charge or receive a refund of their ticket price.
