Swiss International Air Lines will start training pilots for the introduction of the Airbus A350-900 aircraft from early February.
The training will use a full-flight simulator installed at Lufthansa Aviation Training Switzerland in Opfikon, Switzerland. More than 50 pilots are expected to be trained this year, with about 90 annually from 2026 onwards. Similarly, cabin crew training will commence from March, with more than 1,800 crew members completing training by the end of the year.
A total of 10 Airbus A350-900 aircraft will be introduced, with the first aircraft expected to arrive this summer, replacing the Airbus A340-300 models.
