The new seasonal Halifax route will be served non-stop from Zurich on Thursdays and Sundays from July to the beginning of October and is part of the carrier's expansion programme. The carrier is flying older Airbus A340s on the route, at least initially, but the carrier may in the future swap to A350 as it modernizes its fleet.
