Starting January 4, the widebody will be assigned to six weekly frequencies, with SWISS deploying an alternate long-haul aircraft on the remaining day to maintain daily scheduled frequency between both cities. The airline currently plans to deploy the A350 on the route for the duration of the 2026/2027 winter flight schedule.

Replacing primary operations previously flown by Airbus A330 aircraft, the A350 will trim approximately 25 minutes off the eastward leg toward India, setting flight duration to roughly eight hours and ten minutes due to lighter composite materials, enhanced engine performance, and higher cruising altitudes. Concurrently, SWISS confirmed it will extend the special SWISS Wanderlust livery on its flagship A350 past the first quarter of 2027, retaining the celebratory design until its next scheduled paint maintenance cycle.
