SWISS Airlines. Photo: SWISS SWISS has extended its suspension of flights to Dubai until the end of March 2027, while preparing to restore additional services to Delhi during the winter season.
In an operational update issued on November 11, the airline said it had decided, together with the Lufthansa Group, to postpone the planned resumption of flights to Dubai until March 27, 2027, the final day of the 2026/27 winter flight schedule.
The services were originally scheduled to return on November 25. However, passengers will now have to wait until the next summer flight schedule for a possible return of the route. SWISS did not provide further details about the operational reasons behind the decision.
Affected passengers will be notified of their cancellations and rebooked on alternative flights. The airline also said its Customer Service Center is available around the clock to assist travelers with questions and alternative arrangements.
While the Dubai route remains suspended, SWISS is increasing its capacity to India. From December 2, the airline will restore its expanded Zurich-Delhi schedule, offering two daily flights for most of the remaining winter season.
The additional service will operate alongside the regular daily flight and will mostly be flown using an Airbus A340 aircraft.
The decision means SWISS will maintain additional capacity on one of its key long-haul routes while keeping its planned Dubai return on hold.
The latest changes are part of the airline's operational adjustments for the 2026/27 winter season, with passengers scheduled to travel to either destination advised to check their bookings for the latest flight information.
