SWISS becomes the world’s first airline to put the new Bombardier C Series into commercial service

15-Jul-2016 Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) became the first airline in the world to operate the new Bombardier C Series today when its first CS100 aircraft took off on its first commercial flight. The new "whisperjet" left Zurich for Paris Charles de Gaulle after an appropriate inauguration ceremony at the departure gate. The new Bombardier C Series will gradually replace the present Avro RJ100s on SWISS's short- and medium-haul routes between now and July 2017.
