By the request of a fellow member of the Fenix Simulations Discord server:
A high quality repaint of the last Swissair livery worn by HB-IJI (MSN 577), named after Binningen, before the airframe was transferred to Swiss International Air Lines.
The livery has been created with authentic decals of the Swissair brand and others, as well as handmade decals, based on the limited amount of high resolution reference images of the aircraft from around ~1999. Existing sources and the confines of the internet have been researched to create a visually convincing paint of the former livery of HB-IJI, and the airframe (including cockpit equipment) it likely had.
Swissair (SR/SWR, callsign SWISSAIR) was the national airline of Switzerland between its founding in 1931 and bankruptcy in 2002. Swissair operated 20 A320s in total, the first arriving in 1995, all 20 being in operation as of now, most under the new Swiss brand. Within the fleet of Swissair, the (then) first airline to operate all 3 major variants of the A320 family, the 20 operational aircraft replaced Fokker 100, DC-9 and (partly) A310 types.
Aircraft
HB-IJI was delivered to Swissair on the 21st of March 1996 as an A320-214 fitted with CFM56-5B4/P engines. As of April 2024 the aircraft is still in operation with Swiss, being 28 years in age. This livery was worn by HB-IJI before its transferral to Swiss in 2002.
Installation
