SWISS Suspends Passenger Flights to and From the UK and South Africa Until Further Notice

Dec. 21, 2020

Due to the new epidemiological situation, the Federal Office for Civil Aviation (FOCA) has decided that as of midnight, Dec. 21 2020 until further notice, all passenger flights to and from the United Kingdom as well as South Africa are to be suspended. Cargo-only flights are not affected by this measure. SWISS has therefore suspended all passenger flights to the respective countries with immediate effect and until further notice. SWISS most recently served London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Manchester airports in the UK and Johannesburg in South Africa.

Customers affected by the suspended flights will be informed by SWISS. SWISS is in close contact with the responsible federal authorities on the further course of action and currently looking for solutions to transport the affected passengers to their destination as quickly as possible. Flexible rebooking options continue to apply for all SWISS passengers.
