Edelweiss launched its first flight to Kefalonia, Greece, on Saturday, June 6th. Flight WK338 departed from Zurich shortly after 5:00 PM with 149 passengers on board an Airbus A320.

The inaugural flight was officially launched at Zurich Airport. Céline Vautravers, Manager Network Planning & Development at Edelweiss, and the Edelweiss crew together cut the traditional ribbon, thus officially starting the new holiday route.

Dream beaches and Greek flair

Kefalonia is one of the most beautiful islands in the Ionian Sea and an ideal destination for those seeking sun, sand, and relaxation away from the main tourist crowds. Picturesque beaches, charming coastal towns like Argostoli and Sami, and the impressive natural landscape surrounding Mount Aenos characterize the island. Thanks to its location, Kefalonia is also perfect for island hopping. Ferry connections provide easy access to Zakynthos, other Ionian islands, and the Greek mainland.

Up to two flights per week

Edelweiss connects Zurich with Kefalonia seasonally until mid-September. The route is served with up to two flights per week and complements the Swiss leisure airline's diverse range of flights to Greece.
