As previously announced, Swiss International Air Lines is to terminate its flight operations at EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg at the end of May 2015. The changed market environment and difficult political parameters offer no prospect of a premium carrier such as SWISS being able to operate profitably in Basel. SWISS’s Basel-based maintenance and station personnel can be further employed elsewhere. The decision to cease these operations has been taken independently of whether Basel may be chosen as a future Eurowings base of the Lufthansa Group.
As previously announced, SWISS will cease its flight operations at EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg at the end of May 2015, since these have failed to generate a profit ever since they were commenced. The decision has been taken independently of whether Basel may be chosen as a future Eurowings base of the Lufthansa Group.
