Last week was an especially busy one for SWISS.
Not only did they open 3 brand-new lounges inside of Zurich’s ‘E’ Concourse, they also took delivery of their first Boeing 777.
Most of you are probably aware of the delivery and may have seen some of the ‘official’ photos. However I think there may be a few shots in here that might be new to you. A friend of mine, Ralf (RCS) from ‘VielFliegerTreff’ kindly shared his photos from his visit to Zurich to specifically tour the 777 as well as to see the new lounges. You’ll see below that his photos go beyond the basic ‘vanity shots’ and take a detailed look at the aircraft’s interior and cabins. I’ll let the shots tell the rest of the story!

SWISS has signed on the dotted line earlier this morning and has taken delivery of their first 777.
Later this afternoon, ‘HB-JNA’ will depart Paine Field in Washington at 1:35p (local PAE time) and head for Zurich where she’ll be greeted with a bit of fanfare over the next few days. This is the first of 9 777 aircraft that SWISS is set to receive.
For those of you wishing to check in on her flight, you can track it as flight LX7771.

SWISS is inching closer and closer to taking delivery of their first Boeing 777 aircraft in January.
With her out of final assembly, she is being prepped for paint and according to Matt of PaineAirport.com, she’s scheduled to be ferried to Portland, Oregon on December 23. Once at PDX, she’ll spend a few days getting her white and red and will be brought back to Paine Field for final preparations ahead of a January delivery.
Matt was generous to share some of his photos showing HB-JNA in Paine Field over the last last few days:
LX-JNA takes the runway for her Maiden Flight on December 15.
And just a few minutes ago, he shared this photo of JNA being prepared for her flight to ‘PDX’ tomorrow:
If all goes well and to schedule with her delivery, she’ll debut on intra-European routes in February so that crews have a chance to acclimate to their newest aircraft before it is assigned to long haul routes. Ultimately 9 777 will serve in the LX fleet.
