The new service to the financial center of Switzerland is expected to start on Dec．12,2016，which marks an expansion of services for the Chinese market．In May 2008，SWISS already started direct flights to Shanghai．

　　The first flight to Europe has a special price of 2,680 yuan，which does not include taxes and fuel surcharges．

　　Apart from Shanghai and Hong Kong，Beijing will be the third Chinese destination for SWISS．
