SWISS posts CHF 3 million operating result for the first-quarter period

SWISS has reported a positive operating result for the first three months of 2025. Adjusted EBIT for the period amounted to CHF 3 million (Q1 2024: CHF 31 million). The decline from the prior-year period is primarily due to the fact that Easter, a traditionally busy time in air travel terms, fell in the second quarter this year. First-quarter earnings were also reduced by rising costs, but were simultaneously buoyed by strong cargo business and lower year-on-year fuel price levels. SWISS is now making extensive preparations for the summer peak travel season, with a consistent focus on schedule stability and customer satisfaction.
