Summary of Swissair…

Swissair (German: Schweizerische Luftverkehr-AG; French: S.A. Suisse pour la Navigation Aérienne) was the national airline of Switzerland between its founding in 1931 and bankruptcy in 2002.

Swissair was formed from a merger between Balair and Ad Astra Aero. For most of its 71 years, it was one of the major international airlines and known as the "Flying Bank" due to its financial stability, causing it to be regarded as a Swiss national symbol and icon. It was headquartered at Zurich Airport, Kloten.

In 1997, the Swissair Group was renamed SAirGroup (although it was again renamed Swissair Group in 2001), with four subdivisions: SAirLines (to which Swissair, regional subsidiaries Crossair and Balair, and leasing subsidiary FlightLease belonged), SAirServices, SAirLogistics, and SAirRelations.

Due to its so-called "Hunter Strategy" of expanding its market by acquiring smaller airlines, Swissair was suffering from over-expansion by the late 1990s. The crash of Swissair Flight 111 in 1998, which killed all 229 people on board, generated a costly lawsuit and negative publicity for the airline. After the economic downturn following the September 11 attacks, Swissair's assets dramatically lost value, grounding the already-troubled airline in October 2001. The airline was later revived and kept alive until 31 March 2002 by the Swiss Federal Government. The final Swissair flight landed in Zürich from São Paulo on 1 April 2002.

On 1 April 2002, a former regional subsidiary Crossair renamed itself Swiss International Air Lines and took over most of Swissair's routes, planes, and staff. Swissair Group still exists and has since been liquidated. Swiss International Air Lines was taken over by the German airline Lufthansa in 2005.

Aircraft in real life…

HB-IPV was the first of 9 A319’s in Swissair’s fleet. The aircraft was supposedly a prototype of the A319 and was the first one delivered. Swissair was the launch customer of this specific aircraft. This specific aircraft went by the name of “Rümlang”, a municipality in the district of Dielsdorf in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.

This specific aircraft was built on April 25th, 1996, had been in service for 24.4 years before it’s end, and was tested at Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport (XFW/EDHI) with test registrations F-WWTA and D-AVYA.

The aircraft in its lifespan had been in service with:
- Swissair, from 4/25/1996 to 4/31/2002 (the airline’s collapse)
- Swiss International Airlines, from 4/31/2002 to 15/1/2020.
After 24 years of service, it was stored in 20/1/2020 and scrapped at MOD St Athan (DGX/EDGX(nowadays EGSY)) in July of 2020.
