Flights To Dubai Will Remain Suspended Till September

To redeploy aircraft capacity while Dubai services remain suspended, SWISS is expanding its Zurich–Delhi offering through 13 September 2026, operating a second daily Airbus A330 rotation in addition to the regular daily service. The extra daily flights are LX2646 and LX2647, regular services remain LX146 and LX147.
