Swiss Global Air Lines (until February 2015 ''Swiss European Air Lines'')〔 is a subsidiary of Swiss International Air Lines and therefore also of the Lufthansa Group. Like its parent, Swiss Global is part of the Star Alliance. It has its legal headquarters〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Swiss European Air Lines - Zefix Firmenregister )〕 in Basel, on the grounds of Zurich Airport and the town of Kloten.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Swiss European Air Lines Facts and Figures ) "Headquarters Swiss European Air Lines AG Postfach CH-8058 Zurich Airport Switzerland"〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kloten - Ortspläne Schweiz )〕 Swiss Global Air Lines operates scheduled flights in the name and corporate design of its parent Swiss International to European metropolitan and some leisure destinations from Zürich Airport. == History == Swiss Global Air Lines was founded in 2005, named Swiss European Air Lines back then, to operate European routes for its parent company. On 11 March 2009, the Lufthansa Group board announced that, in 2014, it plans to gradually replace the current Avro RJ100 fleet flown by Swiss Global with aircraft of the Bombardier CSeries. The replacement of the current 20 aircraft is planned to take two years, while an additional 10 aircraft will be delivered thereafter to allow for capacity expansion. The new aircraft will allow Swiss to continue serving restricted destinations such as London City Airport or Peretola Airport. With the delays the Bombardier CSeries experiences this date has been postponed to 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Swiss International Air Lines - Introduction of Bombardier CSeries )〕 The Lufthansa Group is a launch customer for this aircraft type, and had previous signed a letter of intent for up to 60 aircraft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Swiss Investing in Further Fleet Renewal from 2014 On )〕 In December 2014, Swiss announced to retract from EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg altogether by 31 May 2015 which means that Swiss Global Air Lines shut down their focus city operations there〔http://www.airportzentrale.de/kurznachrichten-swiss-verlaesst-basel-regierungsterminal-in-berlin-und-fluggastzahlen-von-air-france/36891/〕 and subsequently concentrated on its operations in Zürich. On 3 February 2015 Swiss International Air Lines announced the rebranding of Swiss European Air Lines to Swiss Global Air Lines.〔http://beta.nzz.ch/newsticker/zuerich-swiss-nennt-tochtergesellschaft-um-1.18474767〕〔http://www.aero.de/news-21125/Swiss-meldet-Boeing-777-300ER-bei-Regionaltochter-an.html〕 It was also confirmed on the same date, that Swiss International's 6 ordered Boeing 777-300ER will be operated by Swiss Global Air Lines. These planes, with deliveries being expected in 2016, will be the first aircraft for intercontinental flights in Swiss Global Air Lines' fleet.〔 A further 3 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft were ordered in 2015, bringing the commitment up to 9 aircraft. By April 2015, Swiss Global Air Lines requested traffic rights for flights to the United States to utilize the 777s on its parent's intercontinental routes.〔http://www.austrianaviation.net/news-international/news-detail/datum/2015/04/13/swiss-global-us-rechte-beantragt.html〕 The rights have been granted by June 2015 and will be first used for flights to New York City from 2016.〔http://ch-aviation.com/portal/news/38108-swiss-global-secures-us-traffic-rights-facp〕 At the 2015 Paris Air Show, the airline announced to switch 10 of its 30 orders for the Bombardier CS100 to the larger CS300.〔http://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/38130-swiss-converts-ten-cs100-orders-into-cs300s〕 On 2 August 2015 the first Avro RJ100 HB-IXW was pushed out. The second airplane, HB-IXX, was withdrawn from use on 28 September 2015.〔https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/British-Aerospace/BAe-146/E3262/HB-IXX-Swiss〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swiss Global Air Lines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
