Project
The Project Manager A340 refurbishment will report directly to the Project
Owner, who is the Chief Technical Officer. Organizationally the selected

centrally addresses and coordinates cross-unit and divisional topics like
projects, analysis or reporting for the Technical Division.
SWISS is exchanging part of its Airbus A340-300 fleet with new Boeing B777300ER in 2016 and 2017. Several A340-300 will for the time being be further
operated by SWISS and in order to live up to the SWISS premium brand
positioning the cabin of these aircraft shall be refurbished. This will mean new
seats in all classes (Economy, Business and First), new galleys, upgrade of
the inflight entertainment system as well as introduction of customer
connectivity on board. The project manager will be leading the overall project
and will therefore closely work with different business units throughout SWISS
(i.e. Product, Operations, Technical Division) to ensure a timely and smooth
project completion within the given cost budget.
