Edelweiss takes delivery of another A320 from Swiss
The holiday airline Edelweiss is increasing its Airbus A320 fleet to 14 units. The company announced that it will take over the aircraft with the registration HB-JLP from its sister company Swiss. The aircraft in question is currently 12,7 years old and was delivered to Swiss in 2011. From next year it will be part of the Edelweiss fleet. This will then grow to 14 Airbus A320s in the short and medium-haul segment. Taking into account the recent A340 fleet entry, Edelweiss Air will then operate 2024 aircraft in the summer of 19. In the medium term, the four-engine aircraft will be phased out, as Airbus A350-900s, which will be taken over second-hand from Latam Airlines, will form the backbone of the long-haul routes in the future.
