- Another step in fleet modernization
- First deployment on Saturday after Larnaca and Rhodes
Edelweiss took delivery of its first Airbus A320neo in Zurich yesterday evening. The aircraft, registration HB-JDB, arrived from Norwich in Great Britain, where it had previously been painted in the Edelweiss livery. With the arrival of this aircraft, the leading Swiss leisure airline begins another chapter in the modernization of its short- and medium-haul fleet.
The Airbus A320neo represents a new generation of aircraft characterized by greater efficiency and an improved environmental footprint. Thanks to state-of-the-art engine technology and aerodynamic enhancements, the Airbus A320neo consumes significantly less fuel and consequently produces less CO₂ emissions and noise compared to previous generations.
The new aircraft also offers advantages for passengers: The cabin impresses with a modern appearance, improved comfort and a more pleasant travel experience.
The first commercial flight of Edelweiss's new Airbus A320neo is scheduled for Saturday, April 4, 2026. The aircraft will take off for Larnaca in the morning, followed by another flight to Rhodes in the afternoon.
With the introduction of the Airbus A320neo, Edelweiss is further advancing the continuous renewal of its fleet and making a targeted investment in more sustainable and future-oriented aviation. Edelweiss will add a total of six Airbus A320neo aircraft to its fleet by 2028.
