Swissair Passenger Airplane Porcelain Thimble

Swissair: A Legendary Swiss Airline

Swissair was the national airline of Switzerland, founded in 1931 and for decades a symbol of Swiss quality, reliability, and service in aviation. The company operated under the name Schweizerische Luftverkehrs-AG and was recognised worldwide for its elegant presentation and excellent reputation. The distinctive red and white colours of Swissair and the Swiss cross on the tail of the aircraft were familiar sights at airports around the globe.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Swissair was one of the most respected airlines in the world, with an extensive network of routes to destinations on every continent. The fleet consisted of modern passenger aircraft from manufacturers such as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Unfortunately the airline was hit by financial difficulties in 2002 and ceased its operations, but the memory of Swissair lives on in the hearts of many travellers and aviation enthusiasts.
