Swiss International Airlines is the result of Swissair's takeover by Crossair and subsequent rebranding initiative. The company operates approximately 70 aircraft and transports over nine million passengers annually. Unfortunately, the airline has also inherited and has been unable to shake Swissair's financial difficulties. As one of the largest affronts to national pride, Swiss was acquired by the German carrier Lufthansa in 2005. The fact that a country as wealthy as Switzerland could lose one of its most revered icons was unthinkable. (Primary Source: www.swiss.com)
