For this special festival Swiss International Air lines (SWISS) created a special livery for one of theirs Bombardier CS300 aircraft. During an airshow this aircraft made several Fly By over Vevey, where is the main arena of the festival. Introduction of the airshow was done by a F/A-18 fighter from the Swiss army and the CS300 was accompanied by the Patrouille Suisse with their Tiger fighters.
