What is striking in the photo is the small Germany flag on the fin above the Swiss cross. “Travel Inside” reported on the photo. Does Swiss owner Lufthansa make itself more and more visible to the Swiss airline?

Swiss spokeswoman Meike Fuhlrott said to 20 minutes: “The flag has to do with the fact that the aircraft still belongs to Airbus and is therefore still registered in Germany at the moment.” If Swiss took over the aircraft and ownership had been transferred, it would be received a Swiss registration (HB-JDA) and no longer carry the German flag. A ceremony is planned in Zurich for the handover.

The new A320neo is the first Swiss aircraft to use the so-called Unit cabin of the Lufthansa Group is equipped. Specifically, this means that the interior looks like Swiss, but the cost-intensive components such as the cabin layout and the galley are identical to other airlines in the Lufthansa Group.
