SWISS Is Phasing Out Its A220-100: Here’s How To Track It Before It’s Gone

The first week of August 2026 came with a surprising announcement when SWISS International Air Lines announced that it would retire the Airbus A220-100. SWISS was the launch operator for the A220 in 2016 (with the A220-100 variant as well), and the oldest of these planes is only ten years old. To be clear, SWISS is only retiring the A220-100s, and it will continue to operate 21 A220-300s. SWISS is currently suffering from issues relating to the A220’s Pratt & Whitney engines, and the A220-100s are being removed so that the engines can be used to keep the more economical A220-300s flying.
