Swiss International Airlines Ltd

Swiss acquired Zurich-based Servair Private Charter AG yesterday, July 17. Servair will henceforth be operated as Swiss Private Aviation AG, a fully-owned subsidiary of Swiss International Air Lines AG. The new acquisition should establish the SWISS Group in the business aviation sector and provide a platform for operating the Lufthansa Private Jet fleet. Swiss Private Aviation AG also provides a new platform for operating the Lufthansa Private Jet (LPJ) fleet, which has been entrusted to the care of Swiss’s Swiss European Air Lines subsidiary.

From spring 2009 onwards, the LPJ fleet should be operated under SWISS Private’s air operator’s certificate. Lufthansa will retain commercial responsibility – including product design, marketing, distribution and customer management – for the LPJ fleet. SWISS Private is recruiting its own corps of pilots for its LPJ operations. The first commercial LPJ services were operated at the beginning of July. The LPJ fleet will be integrated into SWISS Private once the relevant IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) has been completed and the corresponding certification obtained
