Airbus Updates No.3397

 Swiss takes delivery of final A220

Swiss has taken delivery of its final of 30 A220s on 24 May. The aircraft, A220-300 HB-JCU (55110), arrived at Zürich after a non-stop flight from the Airbus-plant at Mirabel. It's due to fly its first commercial flights on 29 May.

The Lufthansa Group ordered 30 CS100s for Swiss back in 2009 when the C-Series programme was launched by Bombardier. The company also took options on another 30 aircraft. In 2015, the order was amended into an order for twenty CS100s and ten CS300s. A year later, Swiss took delivery of its first CS100 and became the launch operator for the C-Series on 15 July 2016. In the same year, the airline amended its order to eight CS100s and 21 CS300s, which were renamed A220-100 and -300 when Airbus took over the programme in 2018.
