About Swissair

Swissair was a Swiss international airline that served as the national flag carrier for Switzerland. The airline was known for its commitment to quality, punctuality and customer service. Though Swissair ceased operations in 2002, its reputation and legacy continue to influence the aviation industry today. Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), a subsidiary of Lufthansa Group, was founded to replace Swissair and now serves as the national airline of Switzerland.

A Brief History of Swissair

At its peak, Swissair operated flights to 150 destinations worldwide, with a modern and diverse fleet of aircraft. In 2002, Swissair declared bankruptcy which led to the establishment of Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) as the new national airline of Switzerland.
