Swiss International Air Lines (Swiss), which is to be fully acquired by Lufthansa by end-2007, yesterday said it did not expect any shift in its “Airbus only fleet” expansion programme.

Felix Rodel, Director, head of Swiss Sales Middle East Africa, Pakistan & Iran, said in Dubai that irrespective of the impending full take-over by Lufthansa, which boasts both Boeing and Airbus aircraft in its fleet ” the Swiss airline would continue its expansion programme in line with its policy of building an all-Airbus fleet by adding another three aircraft from the European manufacturer.

The arrival of two Airbus 330’s kicked off the company’s long-haul fleet expansion in 2006, and three more Airbus A340’s are expected to join its fleet in the coming months.
