SWISS removes advance financial contribution requirement
Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) will have an annual need of some 110 new pilots in the years ahead. To date, in addition to a subsidy from the Swiss Confederation and a loan from the company, every future SWISS pilot has had to make a sizeable advance financial contribution of their own to the costs of their pilot training. This one-off contribution is now to be abolished: from June 2025 onwards, SWISS will meet these training costs, too, in the form of a loan.
