PROFILE |
 |
Airline alliances are all the rage, and Swissair Group (formerly SAirGroup) has joined the party. The group's flagship airline, Swissair, leads the Qualiflyer alliance of European regional carriers, which also includes Swissair Group's Crossair unit. Through its alliance with American Airlines, Swissair offers transatlantic flights. Because of high operating costs, the group plans to reduce its interests in foreign airlines. Swissair Group has sold its Swissôtel chain of luxury hotels, and it plans to sell other noncore assets. It will concentrate on Swissair and Crossair, as well as its catering operations and its duty-free shops.
