SWISS to prioritise VFR and leisure destinations under network relaunch

2 March, 2021

SWISS head of network management Benedikt Escher said the carrier will relaunch its network "as soon as possible" with a "clear tendency" towards VFR traffic and leisure destinations (Routes Online, 02-Mar-2021). "These passenger segments are expected to recover first while corporate traffic will lag behind", Mr Escher continued, further adding: "In the long run, we want to rebuild most of our previous network, but this will take time... it's not guaranteed that each and every destination will be resumed in the future".
