As from the 29th of May 4 flights a week will be offered between Brussels and Napels by the full-service airline. Thanks to this new flight offer SN fills the gap that existed since the only operating airline on the route decided to cease its Brussels-Napels flights as of summer season. The flight time will be of 2 hours and 30 minutes.

SN focuses with this direct service on tourist, etnic and business travel.

Napoli is not only one of the most sparkling cities of Italy, it is also the gateway to famous tourist spots like the islands of Capri and Ischia, Pompei, the Vesuvius Volcano and the picturesque city of Sorrento. The flight schedule SN Brussels Airlines offers with departures on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays is ideal for small breaks, long weekends and the annual summer holidays.

Prices are very attractive. Passengers can already by return tickets for 126 euro.

On board of the Avro RJ Jet passengers will enjoy quality meals, drinks and newspapers. Business Class travellers have free lounge access both in Brussels And Naples. Thanks to the loyalty programme Privilege passengers can earn and redeem miles on this new route and more than 700 other destinations.

This new route is another example of SN Brussels Airlines strong focus on the Italian Market. SN offers its clients during Summer 2004 not less than 7 Italian destinations (Rome, Milan Malpensa, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Turin, Napels) resulting in up to 21 daily flights in each direction.

Swiss will continue to serve those destinations that are most important to Switzerland. On the intercontinental front, Swiss will operate flights between Switzerland and 28 cities in 20 countries, while in Europe the number of cities served will be 42 in 22 countries. Swiss’s own route network is enhanced by non-stop codeshare flights operated by partner airlines between Switzerland and 14 additional destinations.

European services
The European route network remains unchanged, with the exception of Sion, a seasonal winter timetable destination. For key business travel destinations Swiss is focusing on operating flights at convenient times in the early and later part of the day.

Swiss will serve 40 destinations non-stop from Zurich and another 14 from Basel and 9 from Geneva. Our codeshare partners will complement our own route network, connecting Switzerland with ten additional cities (seven from Zurich and three from Geneva). Krakow is a new codeshare destination, served by Styrian Spirit six times weekly from Zurich. The codeshare service between Basel and Lisbon that was operated by Portugalia has been dropped.

From April 1, our partner Cirrus Airlines will operate four flights daily between Zurich and Lugano, maintaining this route as part of the Swiss network. (See media release of March 1).

Intercontinental services
Swiss offers non-stop flights from Zurich and Geneva to 28 intercontinental destinations. As communicated back on December 23, 2003, the days of operation and number of frequencies is subject to seasonal adjustment. No longer served as of the summer timetable are Buenos Aires and Manila, which were extensions of the Sao Paolo and Hong Kong flights respectively.

Swiss codeshare partners operate four intercontinental flights from Zurich and one from Geneva.

Codeshare
Under the partnership with British Airways all flights between Switzerland and London will be on a codeshare basis throughout the summer timetable period.

Swiss also offers codeshare flights to destinations in USA, Spain and Finland via the national gateways of partners American Airlines, Iberia and Finnair.

Timetable
The Swiss timetable is published in four languages with a print run of 205,000 copies. It is now available at sales points worldwide. The timetable can also be downloaded easily to a home or handheld computer and kept current via a monthly update.

The new route – which will start barely 20 days after the launch of two other new Emirates services to Glasgow and Shanghai - will make Vienna the 77th destination in a route network that now already serves 74 cities in 52 countries. Europe is increasingly important for Emirates, which has earned more than 250 quality awards from customers since it was set up in 1985.

Austria also will benefit from increased inbound tourism and trade, as well as from Emirates direct investment in Austria’s economy through its new Vienna airport and city centre offices, and the new jobs created by those.

The new Airbus A330-200 service will become increasingly important as the European Union adds new members in Eastern Europe from 1st May, including the more than 27 million combined population of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Since its launch in 1985, Emirates has received more than 250 international awards for customer service. It is the world’s fastest-growing intercontinental airline, one of the world's five most profitable and among the 20 largest. It is based in Dubai, one of the few cities in the world to pursue an open-skies policy where more than 100 airlines compete freely and fairly.

Emirates already serves major routes in Europe, Middle East, Africa, the Indian subcontinent and Asia-Pacific. It will start passenger flights to Shanghai and Glasgow on 10th April and New York on 1st June, which then will become its 78th destination. Last year it launched services to Auckland, Moscow and Brisbane, and already this year to Lagos and Accra.

Thanks to the codeshare-agreement signed last week SN Brussels Airlines and Malev Hungarian Airlines will both commercialise all the flights they operate on the Brussels-Budapest route. The code-share agreement will be effective as from March 28th, 2004.

This means for the SN Brussels Airlines' customers that they will enjoy more flexibility for their trips to Budapest. The partnership enables also smoother transfers to other SN operated European destinations.

The demand for air travel on the Brussels-Budapest route is increasing thanks to the eminent EU-membership of Hungary.

Malev is a full service airlines based in Budapest. The Malev flights will be operated by Boeing 737and Fokker aircraft. Just like SN Brussels Airlines that operates Avro Jets on Brussels-Budapest, Malev has a well-earned reputation for hospitality and on time performance.

The flight time Brussels - Budapest will be of 2h10 minutes. On board of the flights (Business and Economy Class configuration) passengers can enjoy free meals, drinks and newspapers. Business Class passengers have free lounge access in Brussels and Budapest.
