“Swiss Sun” has been selected as the new brand name for the charter services offered by Swiss International Air Lines. The new name will feature on the four new Airbus A320 aircraft which will supersede the present Boeing MD-83 fleet on such services from April 2003 onwards.
Swiss Sun will provide Swiss International Air Lines with a visually-distinct identity for its charter products while still maintaining a close association with its prime SWISS brand. The new charter aircraft will seat 168 passengers, though the option of a more-generously-configured Business Class cabin will also be available.
SWISS’s charter network extends to various medium-haul destinations including points in Mediterranean Europe, North Africa, the Canary Islands, Egypt and Iceland.
——————————
So, presumably the LHR-BSL run currently operated on those bloody MD’s will revert to the current Airbusses.

RE: yet another SWISS brand
At least you can identify their own charter division, with BA or LH it is very hard to tell whether or not they are operated schedule or charter. I know the BA flight number ends in ‘C’ if it is charter but that is the only way to varify it.
Anyway great news to see a Swiss expansion.
