Swiss International Air Lines has canceled over 1,400 flights between April and October 2025 due to a shortage of trained pilots and limited aircraft availability. The cuts affect both European and long-haul routes, with the Zurich–Chicago route seeing flights reduced by half in September and October. The airline cites unexpected pilot absences and retraining for the new Airbus A350 fleet as key factors. SWISS is working to rebook affected passengers and urges travelers to stay updated on flight statuses.
