Legend

Crossair Scheduled air services start 1978-1993 In 1978 the company changes its name to “Crossair”. In 1979 the new airline is given a licence to operate scheduled flights and begins with services to Nuremberg, Innsbruck and Klagenfurt. More destinations are added, including domestic flights to Lugano and Sion. Swissair sees its monopoly endangered, but when the public sides with the smaller of the two companies, Swissair and Crossair agree, in 1982, to allocate their resources between themselves. In time both companies increase their collaboration with each other. In 1988 Swissair buys a share of stock in Crossair and eventually takes a majority stake in 1991.
