This leaves only one last Avro RJ100 (jockingly nicknamed "Jumbolino" in Switzerland) in the fleet of Swiss: The HB-IYZ (named "Hohe Winde").
On the 20th August there will be a small sightseeing flight over Switzerland bookable through BuchAirTours.

In previous years, SN operated Geneva-Corsica summer charters under its own flight numbers!

last year SN did BRU-GVA-BRU as SN flights and from Geneva to Comiso for Swiss,

this year they're doing BRU-GVA-BRU and GVA-CLY(Calvy)GVA for Swiss only in July and August every Saturday

The last departure of a SWISS Avro RJ100 from London City Airport, with a water salute!

This was also the very last revenue flight of the venerable SWISS Avro registered HB-IYZ
