COVID-19: Federal Council supports Skyguide with a loan
Bern, 30.6.2021 - The COVID-19 pandemic has massively restricted air traffic movements, causing Skyguide's air traffic control fee revenue to decline sharply. During its meeting on 30 June 2021, the Federal Council provided specific details of the financial stabilisation of Skyguide in 2021 and allocated additional funds for 2022 in order to prevent a liquidity shortfall. The Confederation is thus committing a total of CHF 500 million, with CHF 350 million of this set to flow back according to current estimates. The capitalisation is subject to conditions.
