Swiss International Air Lines faces a unique dilemma as its new first-class seats add too much weight to its A330 jets, leading to a nose-heavy issue.
To address the nose-heavy issue caused by the new first-class seats, Swiss will introduce a balancing plate to add weight, but this could increase fuel burn.
In line with these changes, Swiss is cutting its first-class capacity significantly, reducing it from eight seats to just three, while also removing business class doors.
Despite considering other adjustments, Swiss has ruled out adding more economy seats, prioritizing in-flight comfort over maximizing capacity on its A330 fleet.
