| Name origin | SWISS is a short form of Swiss International Air Lines, the name Crossair took when it became Switzerland's new national airline in 2002. The name states the country it represents and the international scope of its routes. | The name Swissair was proposed by Dr Alphonse Ehinger, president of the board of Balair, although it was first considered "un-Swiss". It combines "Swiss" and "air". |
