Swiss increases A350-commitment
On 5 December 2024, Swiss announced it has decided to increase its commitment to the Airbus A350-900s from five to ten. The airline announced its intention to take on A350s in late 2022. All of the ten aircraft will come from the open orders the Lufthansa Group holds for the type with Airbus.
Delivery of the first batch of A350-900s is to begin in summer next year. The second batch is to arrive from 2027 onwards. The airline expects to have all ten in operation by 2031.
Currently, the long-haul fleet of Swiss is made-up of fourteen Airbus A330-300s, four A340-300s, and twelve Boeing B777-300ERs.
