Edelweiss Air (IATA: WK), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swiss International Air Lines within the Lufthansa Group, specializes in leisure flights to sun-soaked holiday destinations across Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia. Founded on October 19, 1995, in Bassersdorf near Zurich, the airline commenced operations in February 1996 with a single McDonnell Douglas MD-83. Over three decades, it has evolved into Switzerland's leading holiday carrier, serving 65 destinations with a focus on vacation hotspots popular among Swiss travelers.
Headquartered at Zurich Airport (ZRH), Edelweiss benefits from Star Alliance connectivity through its parent, offering seamless transfers for long-haul journeys. What sets Edelweiss apart is its cheerful 'Swiss smile' service, vibrant red-and-white livery inspired by the Alpine edelweiss flower, and premium leisure class options with extra legroom and enhanced meals. Certified as a 4-Star Leisure Airline by Skytrax, it emphasizes quality seats, onboard amenities, catering, and attentive cabin crew.
The fleet modernization underscores its commitment to sustainability and comfort: 15 Airbus A320-200s handle short-haul routes, while long-haul operations transition from three aging A340-300s to four (and growing) efficient A350-900s, with additional A320neos on order. With an average fleet age of 18.4 years, Edelweiss prioritizes passenger experience on seasonal leisure routes like Zurich to Punta Cana, Maldives, or Mauritius.
Passenger reviews average around 3.5/5 on TripAdvisor (over 4,000 reviews) and 6/10 on Skytrax, praising friendly staff and cleanliness but noting occasional critiques on food portions and value. Ideal for families and holidaymakers seeking reliable Swiss hospitality without full-service frills, Edelweiss Air combines punctuality, safety (7/7 AirlineRatings), and festive onboard vibes for memorable getaways.
