Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) has announced plans to enhance its long-haul fleet with five additional Airbus A350-900 aircraft, complementing the five already on order. The deliveries will begin in summer 2025 and continue progressively until the end of 2031, featuring the airline's new ‘SWISS Senses' cabin interior for an upgraded travel experience.
The acquisition is part of a broader investment by the Lufthansa Group, underscoring SWISS's commitment to fleet modernisation and sustainability. “Our new Airbus A350s will make our fleet even more modern,” said SWISS CEO Jens Fehlinger. “This is a major investment, and a vital one to ensure that we continue to meet our customers' high expectations. With these advanced twinjets and their innovative cabins, we're bringing our long-haul aircraft fleet up to a totally new level of modernity, sustainability and inflight comfort for our guests.”
The Airbus A350-900 is celebrated for its efficiency and advanced design. It is among the most fuel-efficient aircraft in its class, producing significantly lower carbon emissions compared to older models. Its cutting-edge engines also reduce noise emissions by more than half, enhancing its environmental performance.
The new ‘SWISS Senses' cabin interior will elevate the travel experience across all classes, offering the latest in inflight comfort and amenities. The airline aims to finalise its plans for the routes that the new A350s will serve in the coming months.
With the gradual delivery of these aircraft, SWISS will establish a more sustainable, efficient and passenger-friendly long-haul fleet.
