SWISS targets 25% savings on unit costs with CSeries
SWISS is targeting a 25% savings on unit costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100/300 aircraft, CE Thomas Klühr said on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 July 6. SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 June 29. The airline originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s, plus 30 options, but then converted 5 100s to the 300 variant. “Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane,” Klühr said. SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to 9 years when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered. Klühr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft types—the Boeing 777-300ER and CSeries—to the fleet at the same time. <br/>
