“Our new Premium Economy class has quickly established itself as a very popular way to travel. “And the very positive feedback we have received from our customers – about the increased seating comfort, improved service, greater variety and quality of meals – has only reinforced our decision to offer this premium product on more of our routes,” commented Tamur Goudarzi Pour, Chief Commercial Officer of SWISS.
The airline has already installed Premium Economy on its entire fleet of Boeing 777-300ERs, the first aircraft of which was completed at the end of February 2022.
