do like

//create dateformatter
let dateFormatter2 = NSDateFormatter()

// set your dateformat intially whatever u get from server or local
                          //2016-02-10
dateFormatter2.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"

// convert your string to date
let date2 = dateFormatter2.dateFromString(departureDate as String)

 // create another dateformat for what output u need at final
                           // TUE, 10 FEB 2016
 dateFormatter2.dateFormat = "EEE, dd MMM yyyy"
 // again convert the date to string again 
 let finaldate = dateFormatter2.stringFromDate(date2!).uppercaseString

iPhone format strings are in Unicode format.
