Edelweiss, a Swiss airline, has launched a new route from Zurich to Halifax, a port city in Canada. The flights, which will operate on Thursdays and Sundays, will be serviced by an Airbus A340-300 until mid-October. This new route marks Edelweiss’ third destination in Canada, after Vancouver and Calgary. According to Patrick Heymann, Chief Commercial Officer of Edelweiss, the addition of Halifax to their route network opens up a new and exciting region of Canada to travelers, offering a unique blend of maritime charm, unspoilt nature, and cultural diversity.
Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, is a city that delights visitors with its lively cultural scene, historic sites, and charming old town. The city’s waterfront promenade is perfect for strolling, and its cozy pubs, cafes, and galleries add to its charm. As a base for exploring the region, Halifax offers access to a range of natural wonders, including the spectacular cliffs of Cape Breton Highlands National Park, beautiful beaches, and picturesque fishing villages. The region’s landscape is particularly impressive during autumn, when the forests turn bright shades of yellow, orange, and red.
The new route is expected to appeal to travelers and nature lovers alike, offering a range of outdoor experiences and a chance to experience the typical Canadian warmth and renowned cuisine, which is famous for its fresh seafood. With the addition of Halifax to its route network, Edelweiss is expanding its presence in Canada and providing travelers with more options for exploring this beautiful country. Whether you’re interested in culture, nature, or cuisine, Halifax and the surrounding region have something to offer, making it an exciting new destination for Edelweiss passengers.
