I hate to be the bearer of bad news since I posted this thread but it looks like Swiss has clarified this matter and apparently the aircraft will be Swiss but operated with Edelweiss cabin/cockpit crew!

Cool! Are we renting a helicopter for A2A shots to get those? :tongue:

The way I read it, it says aircraft cabins in SWISS configuration. Probably means Eidelweiss will change seat configs on its aircraft to match that of SWISS.

After receiving an internal news memo I can unfortunately confirm that the flights will continue to be operated by SWISS aircraft but with an Edelweiss crew. :(
