SWISS is not likely to slim any further according to Lufthansa boss Wolfgang Mayrhuber, speaking at the Star Alliance gathering in Kyoto.
Quelling any further fears by nationals of further dilution in real terms, he said that its current size is ”under critical”. He sees the airline as an LH brand with Zurich as a major hub, together with Frankfurt and Munich.
For the future he wants traffic from regional points to feed into whatever airport suits long haul connections both ways.
Typically, a passenger could route Berlin - Zurich for a connecting long haul service and Munich - Berlin on the return, making best use of frequent connections and flight times.
Sponsored by Lufthansa, Swiss has become the 17th member of the Star Alliance.
