SWITZERLAND: SWISS Welcomes First Boeing 777-300ER Aircraft

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) took delivery of the first of nine new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft at Zurich Airport at 9:14 a.m. on January 30, marking a new era in Switzerland's aviation history.

The 777-300ER aircraft, which bears the registration HB-JNA and name "November Alpha", was welcomed with the loud applause of a large crowd of aviation fans and other keen spectators. The youngest and biggest member of the SWISS fleet was flown directly to Zurich from Boeing's Everett Factory in Seattle, the U.S.

On January 29, SWISS opened First Class, Business Class and Senator Lounge facilities in Zurich Airport's Terminal E. The two events usher in a new era for SWISS, in the air and on the ground, under its "Next-Generation Airline of Switzerland" strategy.
