With Tenerife, Edelweiss enters the new Airbus A350 era. Initially, the Airbus A350 will fly short- and medium-haul routes for crew training. Then, starting in mid-May 2025, the long-haul route will begin with Las Vegas. With the entry of the second Airbus A350 into service at the beginning of July 2025, the Zurich-Vancouver-Zurich route will be served daily.
