There’s something not quite right about it, but just can’t put my finger on what.

it must be hard to see lit up dials for a pilot when the sun is glaring

Corfu is definitely next on my agenda, after SXM, of course.

yes, although, I haven’t actually seen a Saab in the new Swiss colours yet, although their home base is at BSL… I certainly saw both Crossair liveries about whilst I was up last week, which is surprising that the older Crossair livery is still about, as it’s three and a half years since the rebranding.
Having said that, there are currently 9 aircraft in the new colours (HB-IZB, HB-IZC, HB-IZD, HB-IZE, HB-IZF, HB-IZH, HB-IZI, HB-IZL HB-IZR), and the fleet is scheduled to be reduced to just 6 as of the winter timetable, so I suppose those Crossair colours will dissapear then. 🙁
Comet, LX will still operate to ZRH from LCY, although it may well be with ARJ’s rather than Saab’s, although I’d suspect the weekend flights’d still be the smaller aircraft.
The Swiss fleet as of the winter timetable will be thus…
9 Airbus A330
9 Airbus A340 / MD-11
22 Airbus A320-Family
19 Avro RJ85/RJ100
14 Embraer 145
6 Saab 2000
nb the MD-11’s will be replaced with 340’s, as and when they arrive (the first one started operating for LX on the 8th of July, on teh Zurich-Dubai-Karachi route), 7 of the 9 are due by Christmas, with the other two due by next March.

Thanks Bhoy. Interestingly enough, it seems as if the Swiss Saab 2000 aircraft can be found still in three different liveries looking at some pictures I found. They are the old Crossair livery, the livery before they became Swiss and also the current Swiss livery. Quite a variety and still nice to see some schemes that have sadly disappeared.
Luckily I am in Jersey next weekend for another spotting trip so I will be able to get a few photos of the Zurich charter that has started with Swiss this year. Hopefully it will be a Saab 2000 not a Jumboliner, although I like the aircraft it would be good to have some variety.

Yeah i flew a Swiss 2000 from Basle to Mallorca last summer, which topped off the emb145 flight to Basle from CPH…:D

I like watching the Saab 2000, I watched a SWISS one at LCY last year, its take off performance was superb, I just wish I’d captured it on video, because they’re stopping the flights before I go to LCY in September.
