SWISS Airlines announced Tuesday that, starting in 2025, it will gradually introduce five Airbus A350-900 aircraft to its fleet. The new aircraft will replace the airline’s four remaining Airbus A340-300s in the long term.
SWISS said it will equip its Airbus A350-900s with an innovative, high-quality cabin interior that will further enhance the travel experience for its customers in all seating classes.

“We are very pleased to have achieved our turnaround following the coronavirus crisis and to have returned to a sound financial path,” says SWISS CEO Dieter Vranckx. “Thanks to this, we are now in a position to invest again in the future of our company, in our people and in the quality we offer our passengers. With this major planned modernization of our long-haul aircraft fleet, we are setting a vital course for sustainably maintaining our competitive edge in the long term.”
