More flights will be available between Cornwall and Switzerland this summer (2026).

Swiss airline Edelweiss is introducing a third weekly flight between Cornwall Airport Newquay and Zürich during the peak holiday season.

Starting 3rd July 2026, the expanded schedule will include a Friday rotation alongside the existing Wednesday and Sunday flights, until 21st August.

The added Friday service will depart Newquay at 14:10 and arrive in Zürich at 17:05, offering holidaymakers more flexibility for their summer travel plans.

Cornwall Airport Newquay’s Commercial Director, Nigel Scott said:

“This is a very positive development for Cornwall Airport Newquay and a clear endorsement of the Zurich route’s performance within the Edelweiss network,

“The increased frequency during peak summer reflects strong demand for Cornwall and the success of our partnership in developing the route.

"Additional capacity will support inbound tourism, enhance connectivity via Zurich and provide greater flexibility for passengers. We look forward to building on this momentum with Edelweiss in the seasons ahead.”
