History

edit

Early years

edit
 
A former Edelweiss AirMcDonnell Douglas MD-83 in 1997.

The airline was founded on 19 October 1995 inBassersdorf, Switzerland, with just one aircraft, aMcDonnell Douglas MD-83. The company's name is derived from the Swiss unofficial national flower, theEdelweiss, which is also painted on its aircraft.

The fleet was subsequently expanded and renewed. In 1998, newAirbus A320-200s were introduced to replace the MD-83s, and in 1999 long-haul flights were commenced using theAirbus A330-200.

For seven consecutive years between 2001 and 2008, Edelweiss Air received the goldenTravelstar Award for its achievements.[5]

Until November 2008, Edelweiss Air was wholly owned byKuoni Travel and had 190 employees,[6] when the operating rights were sold toSwiss International Air Lines, in exchange for sale rights of hotel capacities via the Swiss sales network. Following Swiss International Air Lines being acquired by the GermanLufthansa Group in 2005, Edelweiss Air also became a subsidiary ofEurope's largest airline group at the same time it was acquired by Swiss.[7]

Developments since 2010

edit

In March 2011, Edelweiss Air added the largerAirbus A330-300 to its fleet, with an order having been placed on 5 April 2010.[8] In July 2015, it was announced that Edelweiss would receive fourAirbus A340-300s between 2017 and 2018 previously operated by its parent Swiss International Air Lines. The aircraft were used to expand the route network.[9]

In November 2015, Edelweiss introduced a revisedlivery on one of itsAirbus A320-200s which was subsequently applied to the rest of the airline's fleet.[10] In December 2016, Edelweiss Air phased out its soleAirbus A330-200, which was transferred toBrussels Airlines and replaced byAirbus A340-300s inherited from parent Swiss.[11] In 2021, Lufthansa moved Edelweiss Air's twoAirbus A330-300s toEurowings Discover.[12]

On 6 January 2025, Edelweiss Air through a media release announced that the airline will discontinue flights toHavana,Cuba due to declining demand of passengers and the unexpected current conditions atJose Marti International Airport. The last flight from Zurich to Havana and back to the Swiss city was on 27 February 2025.[13]
