More Swiss flights to Manchester

Manchester Airport is to host more flights from Swiss Air Lines over the Christmas period, the carrier has announced.

The operator said that it has made seasonal adjustments to its European network in response to "customer needs".

As of December 22nd, five services a week will be available from EuroAirport – the hub that crosses the borders of France, Germany and Switzerland – to Manchester Airport.

Another change will see additional flights to Manchester from Basel, with a new Saturday service being added to serve this connection.

These changes will be effective throughout the Swiss winter schedule, which runs until March 29th next year.

Other changes will see more services between EuroAirport and Prague, with six flights between these two locations available from January 10th.
