We are stoked to welcome Edelweiss on board as new main partner of Swiss Surfing.

As Switzerland’s leading leisure travel airline, Edelweiss carries surfers and their precious boards to the most beautiful destinations and surf spots in the world.

The airline stands for reliable and care free travels and looks after the safety and well-being of its guests with commitment and cordiality. Edelweiss is a sister company of Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) and a member of the Lufthansa Group.

A partnership united by the passion for surfing

“We are absolutely thrilled that we could win Edelweiss as partner for Swiss Surfing. Edelweiss suits the needs of surfers perfectly. And we are convinced that with such a strong partner on our side we can bring surfing in Switzerland to a higher level”, states Benedek Sarkany, President of Swiss Surfing. 

Both partners agree that the passion for surfing plays a major role in the collaboration.

“Surfing is close to Edelweiss’ heart. As Switzerland’s leading leisure carrier, we bring the surf
community year-round directly to some of the most beautiful surf hot spots – from less known
gems such as Newquay in England to the absolute surf mecca Costa Rica. Through the cooperation
with Swiss Surfing, we are putting an even stronger focus on the sport of surfing and are looking
forward to an amazing exchange with the community at the Edelweiss Surf Tour”, said Yves
Rückert, Head of Brand Management & Marketing Communications of Edelweiss. 

That’s why surfers fly Edelweiss 

Not only does Edelweiss provide attractive conditions for carrying your surf equipment (the first sport luggage to max. 23 kg in fact travels free of charge) but also offers a broad network of medium- as well as long-distance flights. In summer 2021 Edelweiss offered short and medium-haul 59 destinations in 19 countries on short- and medium-haul routes and 19 destinations in 13 countries on long-haul routes.

The flights can be booked on flyedelweiss.com and through all the usual sales channels.

We look forward to fly in the future together!
