In the spring of 2021, Swiss will introduce a Premium Economy Class on its long-haul fleet. As a first step, the additional travel class will be available on the aircraft of the Boeing 777-300ER fleet with 24 seats. In the medium term, it is planned to extend the product to the entire long-haul fleet. For passengers looking for more comfort, the new offer offers a special travel experience. Overall, Swiss is investing around CHF 40 million in the retrofitting of its Boeing 777 long-haul fleet. With the introduction of the new travel class, Swiss is reacting to the increasing demand for a product range that is located between the economy and the business class. Swiss CEO Thomas Klühr comments: "The success of LH and AUA convinced me and brought about my change of heart. The time is right now. We wanted to be sure that the new offer attracted economy customers and did not encourage business customers to leave business class. »(TI)
