Swiss and Edelweiss receive aid from the Swiss state. Easyjet Switzerland is empty-handed. This is considered unfair by the budget airline.
The criticism is full of cotton. Politicians will continue to speak “to ensure fair competitive conditions are guaranteed for all airlines,” Easyjet Switzerland said Wednesday night (April 29). After all, they are a Swiss company that employs 1,000 people on Swiss contracts at its two locations in Geneva and Basel.
The Swiss government had previously announced that it would support Swiss and Edelweiss with a loan guarantee of CHF 1,275 billion or the equivalent of EUR 1.2 billion. After explicitly mentioning Easyjet three weeks earlier, the low-cost airline was now left empty-handed. They can also finance themselves through their British mother and also apply for a normal Covid support loan, which is even cheaper. Easyjet Switzerland does not want to leave it at that. “We expected more from the government,” he says behind the scenes.
Increasing demand
The Swiss subsidiary of the low-cost airline also wants more measures to boost demand. Easyjet cites as an option a “temporary suspension of aviation-related taxes or a reduction in airport charges.” The airline is number one at Basel and Geneva airports.
