Edelweiss plans to launch nonstop service between Halifax and Zurich in summer 2025.

The seasonal flights are scheduled to kick off July 3 and run through October 5.

Edelweiss is a sister company of Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), which is part of the Lufthansa Group. Edelweiss is a new airline partner for Halifax Stanfield International Airport, operating out of Zurich Airport with connections to popular vacation spots in Europe and beyond.

As a sister company of SWISS, Edelweiss also benefits from the opportunity for codesharing with Star Alliance partners, including Air Canada. Edelweiss will operate its new nonstop Halifax – Zurich route twice weekly on its Airbus A340-300 aircraft, which seats 314 passengers in business and economy classes.

Flight LX8018 will depart Zurich at 1:50 p.m., arriving in Halifax at 4:20 p.m. Flight LX8019 will depart Halifax at 7 p.m. and arrive in Zurich at 6:25 a.m. Departure days are Thursdays and Sundays, from July 3 – October 5.

As of 2025 Zurich will become the seventh transatlantic airport to be connected to Halifax Stanfield, with more than 30 flights set to operate weekly between Halifax and Europe during the summer season among six airlines. More information is at halifaxstanfield.ca.
