Swiss International Air Lines is upgrading its fleet by training pilots for the Airbus A350. The cockpit crew will start training in February at a new simulator near Zurich Airport. This step prepares the airline for its first A350-900, arriving this summer.

Swiss International Air Lines will replace its aging A340-300s with ten new A350-900s. The airline will train over 50 pilots in 2025 using an advanced simulator. This technology accurately replicates the A350’s flight dynamics, ensuring a smooth transition.

The A350 simulator will run non-stop, providing pilots with hands-on experience. The high-tech system mimics real flight conditions, boosting pilot confidence before their first flight.

Cabin crew training begins in March, with over 1,800 members preparing for A350 service. The airline has installed mock-ups and tools to help them adapt to the new aircraft. This investment shows Swiss International Air Lines’ focus on top-tier service.

Swiss International Air Lines is embracing the Airbus A350 to enhance efficiency and comfort. Its training program ensures smooth operations and a better travel experience. The airline is ready for a new era in aviation.
