ZURICH, 21 October 2026: SWISS took delivery of its third Airbus A350-900 in Zurich last week ahead of assigning the aircraft to operate services to Shanghai and Johannesburg this month.
The Airbus A350-900, registered HB-IFC and named ‘Zug ’, is the third aircraft of its type to join the Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) fleet, following ‘Lausanne’ (HB-IFA) and ‘Delémont’ (HB-IFB).
From 19 October, SWISS deployed the A350 on services between Zurich and Shanghai and Zurich and Johannesburg.
SWISS will add 10 Airbus A350-900s to its fleet by 2030. Like the first two A350s, the latest addition features the new “SWISS Senses” cabin, offering guests a new travel experience across all four classes of travel: First, Business, Premium Economy, and Economy.
