Edelweiss presents new aircraft design
Edelweiss' aircraft will feature a new design in the future. The new look supports the growth trajectory of the leading Swiss leisure airline and underscores Edelweiss' heritage. In addition to the new aircraft design, Edelweiss will modernize the interior of its entire Airbus A320 fleet and install a wireless in-flight entertainment system.
Edelweiss' aircraft are appearing in a new livery just in time for their 20th anniversary. The current livery has remained unchanged since the company's founding. Bernd Bauer, CEO of Edelweiss, said: "We are proud of our past success and will carry it into the future. Our new aircraft design is deliberately an evolution, not a revolution." Familiar details like the red nose will remain on the aircraft.
The most striking change is the greatly enlarged edelweiss flower on the tail fin and the addition of "Switzerland" on the aircraft: "We want to clearly express our Swiss origins. We connect the most beautiful holiday destinations with Switzerland and inspire with Swiss quality. This should also be evident on our aircraft," Bauer continued. The first Airbus A320 with the new design will be flying on the Edelweiss route network from the end of November 2015.
Wireless Inflight Entertainment System on the entire Airbus A320 fleet
In the coming months, Edelweiss will also remodel all six of its Airbus A320s. The aircraft will be given a new cabin, which will heighten the anticipation of your vacation even upon boarding. The new seats appear lighter and offer more comfort and legroom.
At the same time, a wireless in-flight entertainment system will be installed on the Airbus A320 fleet. This will allow passengers to access a wide range of entertainment options via Wi-Fi using their personal laptop, tablet, or smartphone. The offerings range from films, documentaries, TV series, and music channels to a digital reading library.
Edelweiss will fly to Mauritius again from the 2016/17 winter schedule
In addition to the new aircraft design, the fresh interior, and the modern wireless in-flight entertainment system, Edelweiss is announcing a new holiday destination. Starting in fall 2016, Edelweiss will fly twice a week non-stop to the dream island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Flights to Mauritius will be available for booking starting in January 2016.
