Edelweiss will roll out new cabins on its A350 long-haul aircraft, which it operates on the Zurich-Johannesburg route.
In all travel classes, guests will benefit from free high-speed Wi-Fi via Starlink, 4K screens with Bluetooth audio connectivity and a comprehensive inflight entertainment system with over 400 films and series, a 3D flight map, and external cameras.
Economy
The new Edelweiss economy cabin has seats upholstered with blue woven fabric. All seats offer about three centimetres more leg-room compared with the previous cabin, as well as a greater seat tilt angle.
Premium Economy
Edelweiss is increasing the number of premium economy seats to 28 in a 2-3-2 configuration with approximately one metre of leg-room and a high-quality hard-shell seat.
Guests will enjoy a welcome drink before take-off and during the flight will be offered an expanded food selection, served on china tableware on a tablecloth. Alcoholic beverages and noise-cancelling headphones from Edelweiss business class are provided.
Business
The new Edelweiss business class, in a 1-2-1 configuration, offers every guest direct aisle access. Approximately half of the seats are designed as double seats. The seats can be fully converted into a flat bed.
The first aircraft with the new cabin will enter service in December. Further converted A350s will follow gradually in January, February, April, May and July 2027. By northern summer 2027, Edelweiss's entire Airbus A350 fleet will be equipped with the new cabin.
