Airbus long haul fleet

Code: 343

With a range of approx. 11,000 kilometres, the Airbus A340-300 can reach all SWISS destinations without a stop and with a full payload. Thanks to the latest generation of seats, the modernised version of the aircraft offers maximum comfort in all flight classes.

The A340-300 has the endurance of a marathon runner. It holds several long-distance records. The winglets on the tips of the wings reduce wing vibration, which saves a tremendous amount of kerosene. The winglets also give the Airbus an elegant appearance.

These aircraft can carry a maximum of 236 passengers. The capacity is divided into 183 Economy seats, 45 Business seats and 8 First Class armchairs. Following the introduction of the A330-300, SWISS was the first airline in the world to offer First Class tickets on all long-haul flights.

The innovative pneumatic seat technology provides maximum comfort in First and Business Class. The jet is powered by two Rolls Royce 772B-EP (enhanced performance) engines.

The new SWISS Business seat on the A330-300 is probably the lightest of its kind. The air cushion alone makes the seat four kilograms lighter than the conventional version with foam padding. This weight reduction alone will help SWISS to save over 650 tonnes of kerosene a year. It will reduce the company's annual CO2 emissions by more than 2000 tonnes.
