Scandinavian Airlines opens new direct routes

On March 27, Scandinavian Airlines Sweden will launch two new direct
routes from Stockholm, one to Malta and one to Split.

"Our goal is to open as many international nonstop routes as possible
from Arlanda," says Lennart Johansson, Marketing and Sales Manager at Scandinavian Airlines Sweden. "Split was chosen because there was
extremely high demand for a direct route from both leisure travelers and
charter operators. A oneway flight to Split will cost from SEK 795."

The Stockholm - Malta route will be operated on Sundays and the
Stockholm - Split route on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

SWISS to adopt new user scheme at Zurich Airport

Swiss International Air Lines and Unique (Flughafen Zürich AG) have agreed a new user scheme for Zurich Airport that will take effect as of the Summer 2005 timetable end of march. Under the agreement, the national airline and the airport operating authority will work more closely together at Zurich Airport.

The new user scheme for Zurich Airport stipulates that Gates A will be available for all SWISS flights within Europe. SWISS intercontinental flights will depart from and arrive at Gates E exclusively. This change will improve airport planning parameters, which in turn will facilitate shorter check-in and transfer times. The benefits for SWISS passengers are a clear and understandable user format, shorter distances and transfer times, and better access to connecting flights. With these changes, Zurich Airport positions itself as one of the most attractive airports in Europe at which to transfer.

Greater efficiency in ground procedures will improve the likelihood of transfer passengers making their connecting flight and reduce instances of passengers and their baggage being carried on different flights. Concentrating handling ac-tivities at specific locations will also improve punctuality at the airport.

“By team up this way at Zurich Airport, SWISS and Unique are creating the ba-sis for an efficient transfer platform featuring fast, seamless procedures,” said SWISS President and CEO Christoph Franz in praise of the new user scheme. “SWISS as a network carrier becomes much more attractive for passengers on non-stop flights as well as those transferring at Zurich.”

This new arrangement enables SWISS to bolster its competitive position as Switzerland’s national airline, while Zurich Airport significantly strengthens its function as an air transport hub.

In a separate development from the new user scheme, Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. has secured additional funds amounting to CHF 15 million through a secured loan agreement with Unique (Flughafen Zürich AG). The full amount is immediately available. The loan agreement has been concluded for a three-year period, at current market interest rates. This transaction further strengthens SWISS’s liquidity position.

SN Brussels Airlines helps stranded customers of Air Polonia
SN Brussels Airlines is happy to help all stranded passengers of Air Polonia in possession of a proof of travel for a Charleroi - Warsaw flight. SN offers a value for money travel solution for all these clients.

Air Polonia ceased operations on Sunday, December 5. As a consequence, the travel plans of several hundred passengers wanting to travel this month from Warsaw to Charleroi have been seriously disrupted.

In this Christmas period SN Brussels Airlines is happy to help these passengers. All clients of Air Polonia in possession of an Air Polonia proof of travel between Charleroi and Warsaw (print of reservation and reservation code) are welcome on the daily SN Brussels Airlines services between Brussels National Airport and Warsaw. Brussels National Airport is the closest gateway for passengers who want to travel to the European Capital.

Passengers who accept this offer pay 50 euro plus airport taxes and fees for a one way ticket. The offer is subject to availability, valid until the end of the month of December and only on flights operated by SN Brussels Airlines (SN flights 2553, 2555, 2554, 2556).
