Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is the flag carrier of Switzerland, headquartered in EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg near Basel, Switzerland, and an office at Zurich Airport in Kloten, Switzerland. The company’s registered office is in Basel. The airline was formed following the bankruptcy in 2002 of Swissair, Switzerland’s then-flag carrier. The new airline was built around what had been Swissair’s regional subsidiary, Crossair. Swiss retains Crossair’s IATA code LX (Swissair’s code was SR). It assumed Swissair’s old ICAO code of SWR (Crossair’s was CRX), to maintain international traffic rights. It is a member of Star Alliance and a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group.
