About Swiss International Air Lines

Swiss International Air Lines, commonly known as SWISS, is Switzerland’s flag carrier and national airline, headquartered at Zurich Airport. Founded in 2002 following the bankruptcy of Swissair, SWISS has grown to become a major European carrier and a member of the Lufthansa Group since 2005. The airline operates from its main hub at Zurich Airport and a secondary hub at Geneva Airport, serving over 100 destinations across Europe, North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

As a member of the Star Alliance, SWISS offers extensive global connectivity in partnership with airlines including Lufthansa, United Airlines, Air Canada, Singapore Airlines, and many others. The airline operates a modern fleet carrying approximately 18 million passengers annually. SWISS is known for its Swiss quality standards, premium service, and punctuality.

With high passenger volumes across short-haul European flights and long-haul intercontinental routes, personal items are frequently left behind in seat pockets, overhead bins, and onboard facilities.
