SWISS takes delivery of first 777-300ER
SWISS has taken delivery of the first of 9 Boeing 777-300ERs in Zurich. By August, 6 777s should be in service, with 3 more expected by 2018. The aircraft will be used to replace some of the carrier’s 15 Airbus A340-300s. Outgoing SWISS CE Harry Hohmeister said, “During 2016, we will decide the future for the remaining A340-300s. [We will decide] if we will renovate some aircraft, because they are relatively young, or replace them. I personally hope that we will order more 777s.” The new 777s will create 360 new jobs this year, “plus 500 more new jobs next year,” Hohmeister said. “Directly in Switzerland, most of them will be cabin crews.” SWISS’s Boeing 777-300 is configured for 340 seats. It is biggest aircraft in its fleet, which operates 81 aircraft. <br/>
