Swiss World Airways was a short-lived Swiss airline headquartered in Geneva and operating out of Geneva Airport.

History[edit]

It was founded in 1997 with the aim of operating on routes abandoned by Swissair, but closed in 1998 for financial reasons.[1] An attempt to save it failed.[2]

Destinations[edit]

Swiss World Airways only operated scheduled flights from Geneva to Newark Liberty International Airport with flights to Montréal–Dorval International Airport and Miami International Airport announced as being planned.[3]

Fleet[edit]
