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