With Edelweiss into the New Year

Summary
  • The 14th Airbus A320 will join the fleet in spring 2024
  • Finest pralines from Confiserie Beschle and other new products
  • Exclusive experiences with Edelweiss

Edelweiss will add an additional Airbus A320 to its fleet in 2024. Starting in spring, it will primarily serve to further enhance Edelweiss' offerings and secure existing capacity during the summer peak season. With this additional aircraft, Edelweiss will operate a fleet of 19 aircraft from Zurich this year (14 Airbus A320s and 5 Airbus A340s).

Finest pralines in Business Class and other new products
Business Class passengers can look forward to the finest pralines from the Basel-based confectionery Beschle. Beschle created the pralines exclusively for Edelweiss. Another special feature is the elegant packaging; it is not thrown away after use but can be reused. This underscores Edelweiss's ecologically responsible approach by ensuring its onboard product is sustainable. This approach supports existing efforts to avoid waste.

In addition to the exclusive pralines, Edelweiss also offers its Business Class guests rosé champagne from the Gruet winery as a welcome drink. This champagne has enjoyed great popularity since its addition to the range. The new Swiss soft drinks, such as Pepita, Sinalco, Elmer Citro, and Rivella, are equally popular with guests in all classes. These will also be served alternately in 2024.

Martin Rast, Head of Product & Services at Edelweiss: “We've listened to the extensive feedback from our guests and, in particular, revised our menus and snacks. At Edelweiss, we continue to offer full culinary service in all classes, which is, of course, included in the flight price. And as we look ahead to the new year, I'm already looking forward to a revised film offering on short-haul flights, where we can now also offer our guests blockbuster movies. Of course, also free of charge.”
