Swiss airline looks back on a successful Easter travel weekend. Between Good Friday and Easter Monday, the company transported over 220.000 passengers safely to their destinations. It achieved a punctuality rate of around 79 percent. This represents a significant improvement of more than six percentage points compared to the previous year, while passenger numbers increased by almost nine percent.
In detail, Swiss operated approximately 1.700 flights during the four-day Easter period, an increase of 97 flights compared to the previous year. The high flight schedule stability of XNUMX percent helped to minimize last-minute schedule changes. According to Oliver Buchhofer, Swiss's Chief Operating Officer, the significant improvement in punctuality combined with the simultaneous increase in passenger numbers demonstrates that the preparations made have paid off. He also highlighted the dedication of the employees during the busy Easter holidays.
European city breaks such as London, Munich, and Berlin were particularly popular among travelers. On long-haul routes, destinations in the United States, particularly New York, Miami, and Chicago, enjoyed great popularity. With the punctuality achieved, Swiss remains on track to achieve its self-imposed annual target of 70 percent and is already intensively preparing for the upcoming summer schedule to continue offering passengers a reliable travel experience.
