Swiss was formed after the 2002 bankruptcy of Swissair, Switzerland’s former flag carrier.NEWS, 2002-01-31, New Swissair to be simply ‘swiss’,news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1793289.stm, 2024-04-15, BBC News, BBC, en-GB, Forty percent of Crossair’s income came from Swissair.WEB,www.planetairlines.net/swiss.html, 30 January 2020, Airline Beginnings, The new airline lost US$1.6 billion from 2002 to 2005. Swissair’s biggest creditors, Credit Suisse and UBS, sold part of Swissair’s assets to Crossair, which had been Swissair’s regional counterpart. At the time, both Swissair and Crossair were part of the same holding company, SAirGroup. Crossair later changed its name to Swiss International Air Lines, and the new national airline officially started operations on 31 March 2002. The airline was initially owned by institutional investors (61.3%), the Swiss Confederation (20.3%), cantons and communities (12.2%), and others (6.2%). Swiss also owns subsidiaries Swiss Sun (100%) and Crossair Europe (99.9%). It has a total of 7,383 employees.According to Marcel Biedermann, the managing director of intercontinental markets for Swiss, there were three possibilities: stay independent as a niche carrier, shrink to an unrecognisable level, or attach to another airline group. The last choice was taken. Swiss talked to Air France–KLM, British Airways, and Lufthansa. However, Swiss was tied up with debt and an uncertain future and seemed to be an unattractive investment. After merging with KLM, Air France said they were too busy to deal with the Swiss joining them{{dubious|date=July 2017}}. British Airways was open, and Oneworld partners thought Zurich Airport would be a viable alternative hub for London Heathrow.After almost a year of disputes, Swiss was finally accepted into the Oneworld airline alliance, after having been blocked by British Airways, which competes with Swiss on many long-haul routes. On 3 June 2004, Swiss announced its decision not to join Oneworld because they did not want to integrate their current frequent flyer program into British Airways’ Executive Club. Furthermore, Swiss thought the relationship was one-sided, where British Airways sapped out the benefits of the airline, but they would get no return.Recovery
The airline annually halved its losses, and in 2006 recorded a net profit of $220 million. The net profit for 2007 was $570 million.WEB,www.alleseuropa.net/swiss-resumes-regular-flight-operations-on-thursday/, 30 January 2020, Swiss resumes regular flight operations on Thursday., {{Dead link|date=February 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Biedermann stated in the March 2008 edition of Airways, that “this was the beginning of getting our house back in order.” He said that help was needed and looked up to Lufthansa as a comparison, so their coming together was natural, even with their differences. Even with the smaller network, Swiss carries the same number of passengers as they did in 2002.On 22 March 2005, Lufthansa Group confirmed its plan to take over Swiss, starting with a minority stake (11%) in a new company set up to hold Swiss shares called Air Trust. Swiss operations were gradually integrated with Lufthansa’s in late 2005, and the takeover was completed on 1 July 2007. Swiss joined Star Alliance and became a member of Lufthansa’s Miles and More frequent flyer program on 1 April 2006.WEB,www.swiss.com/corporate/EN/media/newsroom/press-releases/press-release-20060331#, 30 January 2020, Swiss TravelClub becomes Miles & More, 10 August 2016,web.archive.org/web/20160810143115/https://www.swiss.com/corporate/EN/media/newsroom/press-releases/press-release-20060331, live, The airline set up a regional airline subsidiary called Swiss European Air Lines. The carrier had its own air operator’s certificate. Two divisions -–Swiss Aviation Training and Swiss WorldCargo (using the belly capacity of passenger planes) – are also owned by Swiss. Swiss European Air Lines (later renamed Swiss Global Air Lines) has since ceased operations and merged with its parent, Swiss.In 2008, Swiss International Air Lines acquired Edelweiss AirPRESS RELEASE,www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080208.aspx, Kuoni and SWISS enter into strategic partnership, 19 December 2010, 29 February 2012,www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080208.aspx," title="web.archive.org/web/20120229175712www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080208.aspx,">web.archive.org/web/20120229175712www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080208.aspx, live, PRESS RELEASE,www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080417.aspx, WEKO approves the acquisition of Edelweiss Air by SWISS, 19 December 2010, 29 February 2012,www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080417.aspx," title="web.archive.org/web/20120229180016www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080417.aspx,">web.archive.org/web/20120229180016www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080417.aspx, live, and ServairPRESS RELEASE,www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080718.aspx, SWISS acquires Servair to operate as Swiss Private Aviation, 19 December 2010, 29 October 2013,www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080718.aspx," title="web.archive.org/web/20131029201839www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080718.aspx,">web.archive.org/web/20131029201839www.swiss.com/web/EN/about_swiss/media/press_releases/2008/Pages/pr_20080718.aspx, live, – later renamed Swiss Private Aviation.

The rest of the fleet was rationalised and now mainly consists of Airbus aircraft, apart from the Boeing 777. Swiss also renegotiated their supplier contracts, including ground handling, maintenance, food service, and labour. Swiss shareholders received a performance-based option for their shares. The payment was in 2008, and the amount depended on how well Lufthansa’s shares compared with competitors’ shares.
