Swiss leisure airline Edelweiss has taken delivery of its second Airbus A350. The aircraft, registered HB-IHC, landed at Zurich Airport on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, and is now ready for operational service. This represents an important step in the airline's fleet modernization, which aims to expand its long-haul capacity.
The entry into service of the second A350 follows the successful launch of the first model in this series at Edelweiss. The Airbus A350 is considered a modern long-haul aircraft. For Edelweiss, this addition represents the opportunity to strengthen existing routes or open up new destinations. The fleet expansion is part of a strategic adjustment to the growing demand in the leisure flight segment, particularly on intercontinental routes.
According to current plans, the new Airbus A350 will make its first commercial flight to Vancouver on Saturday, July 5, 2025, as WK10. This connection underscores the importance of the North American market for Edelweiss. Continuous fleet renewal with aircraft like the A350 is a common practice in aviation to increase efficiency and provide passengers with contemporary travel comfort. The arrival of the second A350 is expected to further solidify Edelweiss' position as a major player in Swiss leisure air travel.
