In the press release they list new countries being added to OW and new destinations. Cameroon is the new country and 8 destination are new in total. I am quite pleased with this addition - as it also adds more frequency to some less served growing routes in Asia and Africa (BA or a single OW airline was the only choice to many destinations African and Asian destinations before).

... SWISS began operations in March 2002, born from the former Crossair. Under its new business plan, it will operate a fleet of 79 aircraft operating 388 departures a day, serving 71 destinations in 44 countries. Of these countries Cameroon will be a newcomer to the oneworld network. Eight of the airline’s destinations will also be new to the alliance’s map – Basel and Lugano in Switzerland, Douala and Yaounde in Cameroun, Berlin Templehof and Nuremberg in Germany, Benghazi in Libya and Thessaloniki in Greece.
