After a two-year hiatus, the leading Swiss leisure airline Edelweiss resumed nonstop flights to North America on Wednesday, March 2. Tampa Bay, Florida, is the first holiday destination to be served on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The resumption of flights was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Zurich Airport.

We are delighted that we can now offer our guests vacation destinations in the USA and Canada again," said Bernd Bauer.
On Monday, March 28, Edelweiss will resume nonstop flights to Las Vegas. This destination will also be served twice a week, and from June onwards, even three times a week. Just in time for the holiday season in the USA, Edelweiss will also reopen the Zurich-Denver route starting June 13. This destination will be served every Monday and Friday until September.

Edelweiss will fly to this holiday destination every Sunday and Tuesday, and from June onwards, also on Saturdays. Calgary in the western Canadian province of Alberta will round out the North American offerings. Starting June 5th, Edelweiss will fly to this city at the foot of the Rocky Mountains every Sunday and Wednesday.
