On 18 November 2020, it was announced that Dieter Vranckx would assume the position of CEO as of 1 January 2021. It assumed Swissair's old ICAO code of SWR (Crossair's was CRX), to maintain international traffic rights. Swiss retains Crossair's IATA code LX (Swissair's code was SR). The new airline was built around what had been Swissair's regional subsidiary, Crossair. The airline was formed following the bankruptcy in 2002 of Swissair, Switzerland's then-flag carrier. The company's registered office is in Basel. Its headquarters are at EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg near Basel, Switzerland, and an office at Zurich Airport in Kloten, Switzerland. Zurich Airport serves as its sole hub and Geneva Airport as a focus city. It operates scheduled services in Europe and to North America, South America, Africa and Asia. Swiss International Air Lines AG, colloquially known as SWISS, is the flag carrier of Switzerland and a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, as well as a Star Alliance member. For the flag carrier of Switzerland before 2002, see Swissair.
