SWISS\u2019s first scheduled flight to use the new technology took off from Zurich for Miami friday at 13:39.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/10\/lufthansa-offers-suite-concept.html\">Lufthansa offers suite concept in First and Business Class for the first time.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AeroSHARK is a special film which has been jointly developed by Lufthansa Technik and chemicals and coatings manufacturer BASF. The film features tiny 50-micrometre riblets that reduce aerodynamic drag during flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur adoption of AeroSHARK is an excellent example of how we can use innovative technologies to make air travel more sustainable,\u201d says SWISS CEO Dieter Vranckx. \u201cOur aircraft fleet is already one of the most advanced and most carbon-efficient in Europe. Thanks to AeroSHARK, we can enhance these credentials even further in a field where every saving counts. We are proud to be the first passenger airline in the world to adopt this new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
