WELCOME ABOARD SWISS AIR LINES
Swiss International Air Lines is the principal airline of Switzerland operating scheduled services in Europe and to North America, South America, Africa and Asia. Its main hub is Zurich Airport. The airline was formed after the 2002 bankruptcy of Swissair, Switzerland's former flag carrier. Swiss is a subsidiary of the German airline Lufthansa. It is headquartered at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg near Basel, Switzerland. Swiss also has an office at Zurich Airport in Kloten, Switzerland. Swiss is a member of the Star Alliance family. The average age of the Swiss International Air Lines fleet is 10.6 years on November 2009. The aircraft fleet is to be renamed after local towns and cities over the next two years. The names will be featured on the aircraft fuselage, with cabin interiors showing the coat of arms of the town or city. The latest fleet addition, an Airbus A330, is the first to follow this scheme, as Bern. Six Airbus A340 aircraft are to be added to the fleet.
