Edelweiss Air Sets A350 Upgrade With Business Suites and Premium Economy Starting December 2026

The redesign aligns ex-LATAM jets with Lufthansa Group standards to lift premium capacity.

Overview

  • Edelweiss selected Thompson Aero Seating’s A350‑optimised VantageXL+ in a 32‑seat 1‑2‑1 business layout, becoming the first European operator for the model.
  • Four front‑row Edelweiss Business Suites will feature closable doors, larger footwells and 32‑inch 4K monitors for a more private experience.
  • A new 28‑seat Premium Economy in a 2‑3‑2 configuration will use fixed‑shell seats and add a welcome drink, expanded meal service on china and noise‑cancelling headphones.
  • Refitted aircraft will add free Starlink high‑speed Wi‑Fi, 4K screens with Bluetooth audio, external camera feeds, wireless charging in premium cabins and USB‑A/C power up to 60W at every seat.
  • The first upgraded A350 enters service in December 2026 with bookings opening in summer 2026, and the full fleet is slated to be completed by summer 2027 following conversions through July 2027.
