A total of 326 flights will be cancelled, a SWISS spokesperson told the AWP news agency on Wednesday, confirming an earlier report by the industry online site Aerotelegraph. The cuts will affect around 0.4% of the airline's total flight offer.

The problem has improved since last year when 1,400 flights had to be cancelled between April and October, or 1.5% of the total number of flights.
