Gallery: Final flight of SWISS's Avro RJ100

Landing in Geneva on board SWISS's latest Bombardier CS300. The CSeries have replaced the Avro RJ100s.

Meeting of two generations--the CSeries and the four-engine short-haul RJ100.

A unique system of the RJ was the air-break (speed-break) located at the rear of the aircraft.

SWISS nicknamed its Avro fleet “Jumbolino," dedicated to the four-engine, long-haul Boeing 747.

Takeoff from Geneva aboard the RJ100.

The Avro circles around the Matterhorn (4.478 meters above sea level) one of the famous peaks in Switzerland.

The Avro RJ100 and its smaller version, the Avro RJ85, formed the backbone of the SWISS European fleet since the company was founded in 2002.

Minutes later after circling the Matterhorn, the Avro was on course to several glaciers.
