Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) had a favorable performance over the Easter period in 2025, with significant increases in both passenger numbers and punctuality. The airline successfully transported over 220,000 passengers during the four-day span from Good Friday to Easter Monday. This figure reflects a nearly nine percent increase compared to the same period the previous year. Additionally, punctuality saw an improvement, with around 79 percent of flights departing on time, marking an enhancement of more than six percentage points compared to last Easter.
SWISS conducted approximately 1,700 flights during this busy travel period, an increase of 100 flights from Easter 2024. The company's schedule stability was reported at 97 percent, with minimal short-notice schedule changes.
Oliver Buchhofer, SWISS Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the effectiveness of the airline's preparations. "We took a number of targeted preparatory actions on the ground and in the air to keep our operations as stable as possible, however challenging the conditions," he said. "The fact that we were able to significantly improve our punctuality while also welcoming more passengers aboard shows just how effective these careful preparations have been."
