SWISS WELCOMES SUMMER ABOARD
WITH TICINO FOOD DELIGHTS
For the latest chapter in its award-winning ‘SWISS Taste of
Switzerland’ inflight culinary programme, SWISS will be
offering long-haul premium customers specialities from Canton
Ticino for the next three months. To do so, SWISS has teamed up
with the Ristorante Vicania
and its associated Castello di Morcote wine estate to present a
multi-course range of dishes that are all accompanied by selected
local cheeses and wines.
From 2 June until the end of August, Swiss International Air
Lines (SWISS) will be offering Business and First Class guests
on its long-haul services from Zurich a selection of special dishes
concocted by Francesco Sangalli, the creative young chef de
cuisine at the Ristorante Vicania above the Ticino village of
Morcote. The renowned restaurant stands on the Castello di
Morcote wine estate, whose fine wines SWISS is also presenting
on board. SWISS Business_Corn-fed chicken breast with polenta bramata
Pikeperch with Valle Maggia bread in First Class
Francesco Sangalli’s culinary creations for SWISS’s First Class
guests include a starter of a Swiss prawn cocktail with Merlot
jelly and tomato cream. For their main course, SWISS First
travellers can choose between pikeperch with white polenta and
toasted Valle Maggia bread and a veal fillet with herb demi-glace
accompanied by potato purée with tonka bean. The Ticino-
inspired selection is rounded off with a chocolate slice with
cream cheese and blueberries.
Sea bass with almond sauce in Business Class
For SWISS’s Business Class guests Francesco Sangalli offers a
first course of vitello tonnato with lovage oil, anchovy crumble
and celery salad. The choice of main courses comprises sea bass
with almond sauce or corn-fed chicken breast with herb demi-
glace accompanied by polenta bramata with Gottardo cheese.
The special SWISS Business menu concludes with a dessert of
elderflower panna cotta with salted walnuts and chocolate
crumble.

Regional cheeses and wines from the adjacent estate
To provide SWISS’s premium travellers with an even finer
experience of Canton Ticino’s wide culinary variety, the special
‘SWISS Taste of Switzerland’ dishes in both seating classes are
accompanied by a selection of regional cheeses such as
Formagella and Gottardo from the Caseificio del Gottardo along
with Brioso, Canaria and Val Blenio.
In addition, thanks to its partnership with the Ristorante Vicania
and its associated Castello di Morcote estate, SWISS can offer its
guests both food and wines from the same single provider for the
first time ever in the history of the ‘SWISS Taste of Switzerland’
programme. In First Class Francesco Sangalli’s creations can be
accompanied by a Favola Bianco Ticinese DOC 2019 white or a
Castello di Morcote DOC Merlot 2019 red, while the SWISS
Business wine selection includes an Il Moro Merlot IGT 2018
red and a Bianca Maria IGT 2019 white.
Under its award-winning ‘SWISS Taste of Switzerland’ inflight
culinary concept, SWISS has been inviting a new top chef from a

Lufthansa Cargo enables over 50 preighter flights for EgeTrans
Since last year, Lufthansa Cargo has already
been offering its customers transport options
in so-called preighters - passenger aircraft
used for transporting cargo only. Recently,
the 50th preighter connection from
Frankfurt to Chicago was operated for the
forwarding company EgeTrans
Internationale Spedition GmbH based in the
German state of Baden-Württemberg. Since
last December, important spare and
production parts, especially for the
agricultural and utility vehicle industry,
have been transported on board the A340
and A350 aircraft. The carrier is thus once
again demonstrating the importance of fast
and reliable transports by air. By supplying
factories with essential goods, they can
continue production during the pandemic
and strengthen the global economy.
"It makes us proud that we are able to offer
such a tailor-made service to our longtime
