The elimination of the quarantine regulations for Spain and Portugal has triggered a strong surge in demand - five times as much within a week. That is why the Lufthansa subsidiary is now increasing the frequency for flights to these countries over the Easter period. 

On the one hand, more flights would be carried out, on the other, larger aircraft would be used. As Swiss-CCO Tamur Goudarzi Pour explains, the examples from Spain and Portugal show that the lifting of quarantine obligations and the introduction of reliable travel regulations immediately lead to a noticeable increase in demand. Swiss is able to react to such changes at short notice.

There are additional flights to Palma de Mallorca, Málaga, Barcelona, ​​Alicante and Valencia. This means that 29 (instead of 43) flights to Spain will be carried out in the week from March 34th, and as many as 5 flights in the following week (from April 59th). In addition, the frequencies to Porto and Lisbon will also be increased. In some cases, Swiss wants to fly with A321 aircraft, the largest Shorthaul aircraft in the fleet with 219 seats. The use of long-haul aircraft is also being considered, according to the carrier.
