SWISS International Airlines has brought back its last long-haul aircraft from Jordan after it was flown there for storage at the start of the pandemic.

Three years ago, SWISS sent several of its aircraft to Jordan - the dry climate is perfect for mothballing a plane. 

The airline says it takes weeks of hard work to bring a plane back to life after three years on the ground. 

The Airbus A330 is now taking passengers to destinations in the US and Asia.
