Edelweiss presents modernized aircraft livery of the Airbus A350

To mark the upcoming introduction of the new Airbus A350, Edelweiss is modernizing the look of its fleet. Both the distinctive red nose and the Edelweiss flower will be retained in a revised design. White will also continue to be used as the main color, unchanged.

Well-known and proven in a modern appearance
The unmistakable edelweiss flower continues to be emblazoned on the tail fin. The colors blue, white, and yellow remain, but the flower's contours are finer, giving it a more modern appearance. Thanks to the enlarged red area, one petal of the edelweiss flower now extends to the fuselage. The edelweiss is visible on the inside of the sharklets on the wingtips, making it a popular photo subject for passengers on board.

The distinctive red color continues to make Edelweiss aircraft instantly recognizable. The red surface of the vertical stabilizer (tail fin) now extends to the fuselage and curves upwards. This curved shape is echoed by the nose, resembling a wave.

Nina Wach, Head of Brand Management & Marketing Communication at Edelweiss, is looking forward to seeing the first Airbus A350 with the modernized design and is already looking ahead: "In addition to the six Airbus A350s, we will gradually repaint the existing Airbus A320 fleet with the adapted design. However, this will happen during the already planned repaints and will take place over the next few years."

The first of six Airbus A350s is currently in a shipyard in Shannon, Ireland, where it is receiving its new livery. In the coming months, modifications to the aircraft's interior will progress until it makes its first flight to Edelweiss passengers in spring 2025.

The color blue dominates the cabin of the Airbus A350
The existing seating on the Airbus A350 will be retained for the time being and completely redesigned in the second half of 2026. This will create 30 seats in Business Class. Economy Max has 63 seats with more space between them, and Economy Class has 246 seats. The 339 seats are upholstered in blue Edelweiss fabric. Economy Class and Economy Max are equipped in a 3-3-3 configuration, while Business Class has a 2-2-2 configuration. Business Class features a wider seat pitch, generous legroom, and exceptionally wide seats, which can be folded flat for sleeping. 9-inch screens are installed in Economy and Economy Max, and 19-inch screens in Business Class. All seats are equipped with a power outlet and a USB port.
