First Airbus in new Edelweiss design in the air

Last Saturday evening, 1 February, the first Edelweiss Airbus A320 featuring the new livery landed. The aircraft, registered HB-JJL, was repainted in Norwich, UK, and is already back in service on short and medium-haul routes.

With the introduction of the new Airbus A350, which already features the new livery, Edelweiss is also modernising the appearance of the rest of its A320 fleet. The redesign will be carried out gradually during regular maintenance cycles and is expected to take several years.

Both the iconic red aircraft nose and the Edelweiss flower will be preserved in the updated design. However, the flower will now be limited to the tail fin, featuring finer contours and a more modern aesthetic. The red color will extend further up the fuselage, while sleek curved lines on the nose will enhance the overall look. Additionally, the 'Edelweiss' lettering will appear in a darker shade for a bolder presence.

The aim is to create a dynamic and elegant look that further strengthens the recognition value of Edelweiss as the leading Swiss leisure travel airline.
