The advanced SWISS fleet Airbus A340-300: Die ­Königin der ­Langstreckenflüge

The Airbus A340-300: Queen of long-range ­travels

Mit einer Reichweite von rund 10 500 Kilometern kann der Airbus A340-300 alle interkontinentalen Ziele von SWISS nonstop anfliegen. Die elegant nach oben geknickten Enden der Tragflächen – kurz Winglets genannt – reduzieren die Luftverwirbelungen an den Tragflächenkanten und somit letztlich auch den Treibstoffverbrauch. Nach dem neuen Styling der Kabine im kommenden Frühjahr wird der A340-300 seinen Passagieren einen ebenso hohen Komfort wie das Flaggschiff 777-300ER bieten.

With its range of some 10,500 kilometres, the Airbus ­A340-300 can serve any SWISS intercontinental destination non-stop. Its elegant winglets reduce turbulence at the tips of the wings, and this in turn lowers its fuel consumption. As of next spring, the A340-300 cabin will be refurbished so as to offer a similar level of comfort as the 777-300ER flagship.
