Swiss is examining claims for damages against Skyguide. In Switzerland, the prospects for this are better than in the EU.
The airline will no longer accept the disruptions in air traffic control. A new EU ruling and Swiss legislation are playing into the airline's hands.
The Swiss air traffic control provider Skyguide has experienced another technical failure, causing disruptions to flights at Zurich and Geneva airports. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, led to several hundred passengers missing their connecting flights, and some flights being diverted. This is the fifth failure this year, and comes as the airline Swiss considers seeking compensation from Skyguide.
The European Court of Justice has recently ruled that air traffic control providers can be held liable for damages caused by their failures, which could pave the way for a lawsuit. Skyguide's new CEO Peter Merz is under pressure to address the issue.
