Founded in 1995, Edelweiss Air is a Swiss leisure carrier operating medium- and long-haul services to holiday destinations and is a subsidiary of Swiss International Air Lines. Advantages include a focus on onboard comfort and full-service amenities on long-haul flights, integration with a major airline group for smoother connections, generally solid service standards and a modern short- and long-haul fleet. Drawbacks are a relatively limited and seasonal route network, lower frequencies on many routes, and fares that can be higher than low-cost competitors. It is not a low-cost carrier but a full-service leisure operator; it does not hold a widely publicized Skytrax star rating.
