NEWS - Winter Schedule 2016/2017

[Spotirob]

SWISS adds Bombardier CS100 series flights ZRH-AMS from 30 October, mostly at weekends:

Sunday morning:
- dep. ZRH 07:20 - AMS 09:10 LX724 CS100 Sunday - SWISS Global Airlines
- dep. AMS 09:50 - ZRH 11:20 LX725 CS100 Sunday - Swiss Global Airlines

Saturday evening:
- dep. ZRH 17:35 - AMS 19:20 LX734 CS100 Saturday - Swiss Global Airlines
- dep. AMS 20:05 - ZRH 21:25 LX735 CS100 Saturday - Swiss Global Airlines

Any update on this? Still haven't seen a Swiss CS100 since start of winter schedule.

The market on ZRH-AMS-ZRH has changed significantly with the arrival of both HV and EZY, increasing capacity and lowering ticket prices on the route.
To accomodate the higher demand resulting from the lower ticket prices, LX has expanded capacity on the route to 4x/day A320 and A321.
Occasionally you will see Helvetic Fokker 100 and LX AVRO RJs, but only on 1x service on Sat/Sun.
CS100 may substitute these smaller aircraft very occasionally this winter.

Apart from the above, the latest news I've heard is that Swiss has postponed the arrival of the CS100 at Schiphol till March 18th, due to production problems at P&W.

News from September 9th, so already a while ago...
