Sustainable transportation
The aviation industry is both an important employer and an industry of strategic importance for the diversified Swiss economy, which needs international and intercontinental connections. Following the COVID-19 crisis, the government decided to offer bank guarantees (of CHF 1.275 billion) to help the two main airlines overcome their liquidity crisis. Parliament has nevertheless added non-binding environmental requirements. Payment of the credits should be made conditional on the Federal Council’s climate objectives being monitored and developed in future cooperation with the airlines. In combination with the new levy on air tickets, introduced as part of the revision of the CO2 Law, this was an acceptable solution for the majority of the Parliament.
