On Monday morning, March 28, the plane took off from Zurich bound for the Mojave Desert in the US state of Nevada. An occasion that needed to be celebrated.
Patrick Heymann (Chief Commercial Officer, Edelweiss) and Florian Raff (Head Aviation Development & Statistics, Flughafen Zürich AG) cut the ribbon at the gate in the presence of the Edelweiss crew in keeping with tradition. "I am very pleased that Las Vegas is our second destination in the USA after Tampa Bay. We had to wait long enough for this moment. I am convinced that our guests, too, can hardly wait to fly to this vibrant city again," says Patrick Heymann.
