Edelweiss christened its 13th Airbus A320 at the airport festival

It has become a tradition for Edelweiss to christen its aircraft with a ceremony at Zurich Airport. This aircraft christening, however, was unlike any other, as it took place in front of a large crowd during the airport festival "75 Years of Zurich Airport."

True to the motto "where Edelweiss is at home," Bernd Bauer, CEO of Edelweiss, and Caroline Ganz de Meyer, Ollon municipal councilor, ceremoniously christened the Airbus A320, registration HB-JLR, with the name Villars-sur-Ollon on Friday afternoon, September 1st. Representatives from politics, tourism, and sports from the region attended the ceremony. The alphorn duo "Cors des Alpes" provided the musical accompaniment.

"We are proud to be representing a region of western Switzerland with this aircraft for the third time. In addition to Sorebois in Valais and Glacier 3000, which is at least half located in Vaud, this time Villars-sur-Ollon," says a delighted Bernd Bauer, CEO of Edelweiss.

For Sergeï Aschwanden, Director of Villars Loisirs et Tourisme SA, it's "a wonderful opportunity to bring the Vaudois Alps closer to guests from near and far. Our diverse offerings in the region offer just as much variety as the many Edelweiss destinations."

As a symbol of the partnership, the region is placing an Edelweiss wooden bench in the shape of an airplane seat, where passersby can enjoy the most beautiful views and dream of their next vacation. Almost like being on an airplane.
