Welcome to SWISS Behind The Wings

Why does an aircraft fly? How do cabin crews and pilots train for a plane that doesn’t even exist yet? Why does building the A350 require one of the world’s largest cargo planes? And why do we set our aircraft seats on fire?

Over the coming months, we’ll take you behind the scenes of SWISS’s first Airbus A350 entry into service – with exclusive insights, fascinating stories, and surprising details.

In the first episode of SWISS Behind The Wings, we follow the delivery and installation of a state-of-the-art A350 flight simulator. And why does our host get sweaty hands when sitting in the cockpit for the first time? Find out in the video!
