The Swiss government has given its approval to the launch of a new national airline company to replace SWISSAIR. It has also decided to inject CHF 1 billion in the current SWISSAIR to allow it to ensure it can carry out its flights before coming under CROSSAIR. The Swiss Confederation will control 20% of the share capital of the new CROSSAIR, the "cantons" 18% and the private enterprises 62%. See EI of 3 October.
