So far this year, Swiss has missed its own target of a punctuality rate of 70 percent. However, punctuality has increased by 3 percentage points compared to the previous year due to various measures taken: By August 18, 64 percent of flights had taken off on time this year, the airline announced on Wednesday.
In the summer months, however, more passengers were affected by "irregularities" than in the previous year, the airline continued. For the most part, however, these were not caused by Swiss itself, but by external factors such as thunderstorms or bottlenecks in European air traffic control and the resulting delays.
According to the press release, 2.8 million passengers flew with Swiss during the summer vacation period, i.e. from the beginning of July to mid-August. This corresponds to an increase of 8 percent compared to the same period last year. July 14 was the record day with more than 63,000 passengers, according to the press release.
