Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 33, it was cleared for departure, and the takeoff roll commenced. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 149 knots, having covered a distance of 1,135 meters, which represented 35% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Hamburg, it encountered a local weather pattern characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots. The enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile southwest of Langenhorn, and the aircraft ascended to a cruising altitude of 34,996 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The climb was a steady and efficient one, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following a brief enroute level cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, which started overhead Bad König, Germany. The descent phase was characterized by a significant decrease in altitude, from 35,014 feet to 3,018 feet, in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 163 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Zürich Airport, it was cleared for a final approach to runway 28 from the east. The landing was completed with a touchdown point 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 129 knots. The touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -569 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,580 meters, representing 64% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 419 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,429 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 69 minutes.

The final approach to runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport from the east was initiated at 4 nm and 1,607 ft above ground level, heading 276.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 72 ft above ground level, which was well above the target. However, the threshold speed of 138 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing configuration.
The aircraft touched down 67 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -569 fpm, indicating a significant deceleration upon touchdown. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.4 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 30°, were relatively calm, with a crosswind of 6 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,580 m was 64% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 m from the centreline, which could have been a result of the initial touchdown misalignment. Overall, the landing performance scored 84.0%, reflecting a satisfactory but not optimal landing.
