SWISS phases out final Avro RJ100
SWISS phased out its last Avro RJ100 with a special flight from Geneva to Zurich Aug 15. SWISS is replacing the Avros with Bombardier CSeries 100/300 aircraft. SWISS currently has 8 CS100s and 2 CS300s in service. By the end of 2018, SWISS will add another 20 CSeries aircraft to its fleet. The 4-engine narrowbody Avro RJ100 and its smaller RJ85 variant formed the backbone of the SWISS European fleet since the company was founded in 2002. SWISS’ 21-strong Avro fleet completed over 700,000 flying hours, operating over half-a-million flights with the BAe aircraft. The former SWISS aircraft—which remain in high demand because of their excellent maintenance record despite their age—will be placed into service with other airlines,” SWISS CE Thomas Klühr said. <br/>
