SWISS Unveils Its First Airbus A350 in Zurich
SWISS, the national carrier of Switzerland, presented its first Airbus A350-900 at Zurich Airport on October 14, 2025.
The event was attended by Airways at SWISS's maintenance facilities, where Stan Wawrinka served as the 'godparent' for the naming of the aircraft.

The first A350-900, HB-IFA, was welcomed with a traditional water cannon salute on November 9 and is now officially part of the SWISS fleet.
