Singapore Airlines will increase the frequency of flights between Singapore and Zurich, Switzerland's main commercial and cultural centre, from March 2008.

The current daily frequency will be stepped up to 10 flights weekly from March 4, then double-daily from March 31, providing greater choice and flexibility to customers.

As with the current daily service, the new flights will utilise the new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

Equipped with Singapore Airlines' latest and most luxurious seat products across all three cabin classes, this aircraft features the ultra-wide Business Class seat, configured in a 4-abreast, 1-2-1 setting. Seats in all three classes feature the new KrisWorld, with over 1000 entertainment options, with full audio and video on demand, and a suite of office applications.

Demand for flights to Zurich reflects the growing nature of Zurich as a hub, connecting customers to cities in Europe.

Mr Huang Cheng Eng, Singapore Airlines Executive Vice-President Marketing and Regions says the increased frequency will enable the Airline to cater to the strong demand for business and leisure travel between Singapore and Zurich, including traffic to destinations beyond each city.

"Customers will be travelling in style and comfort, as all flights between Singapore and Zurich will use the new aircraft, equipped with our luxurious new cabin products," adds Mr Huang.

SQ342 will depart Singapore Changi Airport at 14:00 and arrive at Zurich's Kloten Airport the same evening. The return flight, SQ341 will leave Zurich at 21:45 and arrive in Singapore at 16:35 the next day.
