...continues atAn Airbus A340 nonstop flight Zurich, Switzerland, to Honolulu, Hawaii, with nonstop connecting flight on Swiss and Lufthansa from anywhere in Europe - will this be in the pipeline for Edelweiss Air, a Swiss leisure airline, wholly owned by Star Alliance member Swiss International Air Lines and the Lufthansa Group?
The airline is expecting delivery of their three new long haul Airbus A340 by the end of 2016 or beginning of 2017.
The airline already confirmed non stop flights from Zurich to San Jose in Costa Rica; and a non stop from Zurich to San Diego in Southern California, USA.
As first reported by "Schweiz am Sonntag", a Swiss Sunday newspaper and based on insider sources, a non stop from Zurich to Honolulu may be a reality next year. The duration of the flight would be approximately 15 hours and it would be the longest non stop flight in the network of Swiss and Edelweiss.
