Glitches affect initial SWISS CSeries flights
A SWISS scheduled commercial flight of the Bombardier CSeries aircraft from Switzerland to the UK had to return to home base Tuesday morning after experiencing a problem with its air conditioning system. Much of Europe has been experiencing a heat wave this week, which may have exacerbated the problem. SWISS said a backup system meant it was possible to continue the flight, but it was decided to return to home base to do the fix. The CS100 was scheduled to go to Prague later that day. The CS100 entered service with launch customer SWISS July 15. On that day, the inaugural flight from Zurich experienced a problem when airport ramp staff disconnected a ground power cable before the pilots pushed the transfer switch to the aircraft’s auxiliary power unit. SWISS has characterised the issues as “minor hiccups". <br/>
