Swiss International Air Lines will serve London City Airport from Basel from August 30. The flights to and from City Airport, which is conveniently close to London’s central business district, will be operated thrice daily on weekdays and daily at the weekend using Saab 2000 equipment. The current Basel – London (Heathrow) services will be withdrawn from the start of the 2004/05 winter schedules.       

Travellers between Basel and London will again enjoy direct service to and from the latter’s popular City Airport. SWISS will be introducing a new thrice-daily weekday service on the route on August 30, offering attractive early-morning and late-evening frequencies for the business travel community along with a midday flight. Weekend services on the route will consist of a Saturday morning and a Sunday evening flight in each direction, catering for the needs of weekend-break travellers.      

City Airport is within easy reach of all key parts of London. The Canary Wharf financial district is just five to ten minutes away, the City banking quarter is a 15-to-20-minute journey, and the West End shopping and entertainment district is only 25 to 30 minutes away. Passengers using the airport also appreciate the short distances to and from the gates and the generous check-in deadlines.
