Swiss retired the first of its four remaining Airbus A340‑300s on 14 October after operating flight LX5202 from Zurich to Twente.
The 23‑year‑old aircraft was disassembled by Aircraft End‑of‑Life Solutions at Twente airport, with Swiss technicians removing components that remain in Swiss ownership, and the airline plans to replace the remaining A340‑300s with Airbus A350‑900s, while the last A340 (HB‑JMH) is expected to operate until the first quarter of 2028 before possibly being displayed at the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz in Lucerne.
