Intanto dal 29 gennaio Swiss introdurrà il nuovo A-333 anche sul collegamento giornaliero Ginevra-New York JFK.
INTRODUCING AIRBUS A330-300 SERVICE BETWEEN NEW YORK JFK – GENEVA, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 29, 2010
As of January 29, 2010, SWISS’ New York JFK – Geneva route will be operated by the new Airbus A330-300 with its innovative cabin interiors. The aircraft’s First and Business Classes, featuring exclusive adjustable air cushion technology and lie-flat beds, promise an exquisite travel experience; and the redesigned Economy Class cabin boasts its own top-quality seats and a state-of-the-art and easy-to-use inflight entertainment system.
On the environmental front, the A330-300 consumes around 13% less fuel per passenger than the A330-200 it replaces, largely through its more advanced and fuel-efficient engines but also because of a number of innovations on board. The new air cushions, which make the Business Class seat some four kilos lighter saves over 650 tons of kerosene a year fleetwide, and this in turn will reduce annual CO2 emissions by more than 2,000 tons. Lighter materials have also been used for the inflight trolleys, reducing CO2 emissions by an additional 1,200 tons.
