Holidaymakers wanting to explore the stunning scenery of Switzerland can now travel from Teesside with the launch of a new charter flight.
Bookings are now available for a one-off seven-night trip in June 2025 to the gorgeous Alpine destination renowned for its beautiful lakes and mountains.
The charter is the only summer flight to Zurich from the North East and provides the chance to experience some of the world’s most incredible railway journeys including the Luzern-Interlaken Express, Bernina Express and the Glacier Express.
The package – bookable exclusively through Fairs-Lloyds Travel – offers two alternative guided travel itineraries from 20 June, with direct return flights from Teesside to Zurich.
The first option includes a trip on the breathtaking Luzern-Interlaken Express, with other highlights such as a day trip to Lucerne and Brunnen, including a lake cruise, and Mt Rigi, where travellers can enjoy views of the Swiss Alps.
The second option features the spellbinding Glacier Express from Filisur to Andermatt, a day-trip to luxury alpine resort St Moritz and travelling on the Bernina Express – one of the most spectacular ways of travelling across the Alps.
Teesside International Airport managing director Phil Forster said: “Switzerland is an incredibly popular destination thanks to its amazing scenery and superb hospitality so we’re delighted to be introducing this new service.”
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: “We are dedicated to growing the number of destinations from Teesside and – alongside sunshine hotspots – there is huge demand for locations elsewhere in Europe. It’s fantastic to be able to bring this new charter to the airport – and for it to be the only flight from the North East.”
Melanie Fairs, of Fairs-Lloyds, said: “This charter offers a wonderful chance for people to experience the truly stunning landscapes of Switzerland, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer this trip for 2025.
“We’re got some brilliant packages available to all destinations served by Teesside Airport, so we’d encourage everyone to get in touch with us to find out more.”
