Swiss International Air Lines’ first Boeing 777-300ER has landed at its home base at Zurich Airport.

“Our acquisition of this innovative aircraft is a further confirmation of Swiss WorldCargo’s commitment to premium Swiss quality, both in the air and on the ground, flexibility and top customer service,” said Ashwin Bhat, head of cargo at SWISS. “The youngest – and biggest – member of the SWISS fleet won’t just extend our service offer to our customers; it will also enhance the environmental performance of our long-haul operations, as it produces substantially lower carbon emissions and is impressively low-noise.”

The new aircraft is the first of nine ordered by the airline, and flew non-stop on delivery from the Boeing Factory in Everett, Washington.

The 777s will be deployed on flights to New York JFK, Hong Kong, Montreal, Los Angeles, Bangkok, Sao Paulo, San Francisco and Tel Aviv, according to the carrier.
