Federal Council wants to make Skyguide financially stable

Bern, 12.8.2020 - During its meeting on 12 August 2020, the Federal Council decided to support the Skyguide air traffic control company in 2020 and 2021 with up to CHF 400 million. Aviation cannot function without air traffic control. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of flights has collapsed, which means that Skyguide's fee revenue is declining sharply. The capitalisation by the Confederation is subject to conditions.
