Swiss operating profit rose to 421.4 million francs in first nine months
Swiss reported higher operating profit for the first nine months of 2026.
The airline said its profit from operations reached 421.4 million francs between January and September.
That was about 10 million francs more than in the same period a year earlier.
Swiss is a subsidiary of Lufthansa.
The increase shows that the airline’s operating earnings grew over the period, though no reason for the rise was given.
Swiss announced the figures on Tuesday, and no further steps were stated.
Swiss reported an operating profit of 421.4 million francs for the first nine months of 2026, around 10 million more than a year earlier.
Revenue rose 5.3 percent to 4.38 billion francs over the same period.
The airline said higher fuel costs largely offset the additional revenue.
Kerosene was twice as expensive as at the start of the year, according to 20 Minuten.
Swiss carried about 13.7 million passengers, 0.7 percent fewer than a year earlier, while operating 3 percent fewer flights.

Der zusätzliche Ertrag entsprach in etwa dem Mehraufwand für Treibstoff
Damit konnten wir die höheren Treibstoffkosten zwar weitgehend ausgleichen, unser Ergebnis aber kaum verbessern
