FIRST VISIT! Edelweiss Air's NEW A350 Up Close at Calgary Airport!

On May 29th, Swiss airline Edelweiss Air sent their new Airbus A350 to Calgary for the very first time! Edelweiss has been one of YYC’s regular summertime visitors for many years now, but they’ve been flying their Airbus A340s between here and Zurich since 2017. As they start to retire their A340s though, it was kind of inevitable that we’d get their new A350s at some point, and this one was the fourth one to be delivered to them. This marks Calgary’s first scheduled A350 service since the Finnair ones flying on behalf of Discover Airlines in the summer of 2022. Although it is nice to see something different, the A340s will be missed. Thanks to the folks at the Calgary Airport Authority though, a few of us enthusiasts got to see this new visitor up close in spectacular fashion! A huge thank you to YYC for organizing these close up shots of our newest seasonal visitor, and enjoy the video! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Become a Channel Member:    / @alexpraglowskiaviation   Website: https://www.alexpraglowski.ca Instagram:   / alexpraglowskiaviation   Twitter:   / alexpraglowski   Facebook:   / alexpraglowski   =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FLIGHT INFORMATION Airline: Edelweiss Air (EDW/WK) Aircraft: Airbus A350-941 (A359) Flight Number: WK14/15 Livery: Revised (2025) Engines: 2x RR Trent XWB-94 Registration: HB-IHA Route: Zurich (ZRH) - Calgary (YYC) - Zurich (ZRH) Callsign: EDELWEISS 14 Lima / 15 Juliet Heavy Runway used: 17L / 17R Date filmed: May 2026 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Outro song - "Take Flight" by Nyhtian:    • Nyhtian - Take Flight [Royalty Free Music]   © Alex Praglowski Aviation 2026 This video is the property of Alex Praglowski Aviation and may not be used for any purpose without prior permission.
