Lufthansa Group carrier SWISS has now been flying the Boeing 777-300ER for over nine years. The airline took delivery of its first airframe in early 2016 before slowly expanding its fleet with another 11 aircraft over the next few years. Brought in to phase out its older Airbus A340s, SWISS now operates 12 777-300ERs in a four-class configuration, with the type forming the backbone of its long-haul capabilities.
