SWISS is to receive five further new Airbus A350-900 aircraft from 2027 onwards, in addition to the five which it already has on order. The new SWISS Airbus A350 fleet will be gradually delivered – complete with the new ‘SWISS Senses’ cabin interior – between summer 2025 and the end of 2031. SWISS is to take delivery of more new long-haul aircraft. In addition to the five Airbus A350-900s which are already on order, the airline is to receive five more of the advanced long-haul twinjet, as part of an overall investment by the Lufthansa Group. 

SWISS CEO Jens Fehlinger commented: “Our new Airbus A350s will make our fleet even more modern. This is a major investment, and a vital one to ensure that we continue to meet our customers’ high expectations. With these advanced twinjets and their innovative cabins, we’re bringing our long-haul aircraft fleet up to a totally new level of modernity, sustainability and inflight comfort for our guests.”

The Airbus A350-900 is one of the most advanced and economical long-haul aircraft on the market. The twinjet is highly fuel-efficient and low on carbon emissions. Its state-of-the-art engines also more than halve its noise emissions. With their new ‘SWISS Senses’ cabin interior, SWISS’s Airbus A350s will also take its customers’ air travel experience to a totally new level, offering outstanding comfort and the very latest cabin features in all classes of travel. 

SWISS’s first Airbus A350-900 will be delivered in summer 2025, with the further nine aircraft following gradually between then and the end of 2031. SWISS will be finalizing which routes its new Airbus A350s will serve over the next few months.
