Airbus delivers to Swiss

AIRBUS has delivered the first of nine A330-300s to Swiss International Air Lines, known as Swiss, the successor to Swissair, the former national carrier.  Swiss, now part of the Lufthansa Group, inherited a rather motley collection of mainly out of production aircraft.  Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 772B EP engines, the airline's A330-300s are fitted with a three-class layout offering 183 seats in economy, 45 business class and 8 First Class.  Swiss is part of a three-hub system integrating Zurich with Frankfurt and Munich. www.airbus.com
