Edelweiss Presents New Airbus A350 Aircraft Livery

Edelweiss is modernising the appearance of its fleet to coincide with the future introduction of the new Airbus A350. Both the characteristic red aircraft nose and the Edelweiss flower will be retained in the adapted design. White as the main colour will also remain unchanged.

Familiar and proven in a modern guise

The unmistakable Edelweiss flower continues to be emblazoned on the tail fin. The colours blue, white and yellow have been retained, but the contours of the flower have been made finer, giving it a more modern appearance. Thanks to the enlarged red area, one leaf of the Edelweiss flower now extends as far as the aircraft fuselage. The Edelweiss is visible on the inside of the Sharklets at the wingtips, making it a popular photo subject for passengers on board.

The striking red colour continues to make Edelweiss aircraft instantly recognisable. The red surface of the vertical stabiliser (tail fin) now extends to the fuselage of the aircraft and curves upwards. This curved shape is taken up again by the nose of the aircraft, like a wave movement.

Nina Wach, Head of Brand Management & Marketing Communication at Edelweiss, is looking forward to seeing the first Airbus A350 in the modernised design and is already looking to the future: “In addition to the six Airbus A350s, the existing Airbus A320 fleet will also be painted with the adapted design step by step. However, this will take place during the already planned repaints and will take place over the next few years.”

The first of six Airbus A350s is currently in a hangar in Shannon (Ireland), where it is being repainted. In the coming months, the modifications to the interior of the aircraft will continue until it will be on the route for Edelweiss guests for the first time in spring 2025.

The colour blue dominates the cabin of the Airbus A350

The existing seating in the Airbus A350 will be retained for the time being and completely redesigned in the second half of 2026. This means that 30 seats will be available in Business Class. Economy Max has 63 seats with more seat pitch and Economy Class has 246 seats. The total of 339 seats are upholstered in blue Edelweiss fabric. Economy Class and Economy Max are equipped with a 3-3-3 configuration, Business Class with a 2-2-2 configuration. A striking feature of Business Class is the greater seat pitch, the generous legroom and the exceptional width of the seats, which can be completely reclined for sleeping. Economy and Economy Max have 9-inch screens, while Business Class has 19-inch screens. All seats have a power and USB connection.
