GRU - Swiss and Lufthansa Mini-hubs

[BrazPilot]

Swiss International Air Lines and Lufthansa, continuing the integration of their schedules, will create minihubs in Sao Paulo and Bangkok from the start of the summer season on March 26, permitting passengers to transfer between the airlines for onward travel. For example, Swiss will extend its five weekly Zurich-Sao Paulo services to Santiago while Lufthansa will have a daily flight from Sao Paulo to Buenos Aires. The two westbound flights will arrive in Sao Paulo from Europe at almost the same time, enabling customers to transfer from one to the other for their onward travel within South America. The same arrangements will be made for the Swiss and LH services from Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires respectively, providing passengers with transfer connections to Frankfurt and Zurich, LH said. A similar minihub will be created in Bangkok, from which passengers will have connections to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City.
