The Swiss Air Force suspended training operations with the F/A-18 fleet on Thursday as a precautionary measure. The reason given by the Department of Defense (DDPS) is irregularities in the oxygen supply in the fighter jet.

The air police service and operational readiness remain guaranteed, as announced by the DDPS. The problem is currently being clarified with the involvement of specialists. A decision will then be made on the resumption of training and training flight operations.
