The decision to switch to this new method stems from three months of intensive trials, during which various boarding scenarios were filmed for all types of aircraft. Swiss has decided to collaborate with the Berlin-based startup Vion AI GmbH to create a sophisticated AI system capable of accurately counting passengers, thereby eliminating the need for manual counting. The benefits of this solution include improved efficiency and speed during the boarding process, reducing waiting times and enhancing the overall passenger experience. In addition, digital counting eases the cabin crew's workload, ensuring smoother operations. The airline assures that all data collected will be used solely for passenger-counting purposes, guaranteeing its protection and anonymity. This new procedure implemented by Swiss airline demonstrates its continued commitment to improving safety and the efficiency of air transport. Scheduled for 2024, this cutting-edge technology promises to redefine industry standards.

About the airline Swiss
Based in Zurich, Swiss is the fourth-largest airline in Europe. In 2002, the year it was founded, a worldwide advertising campaign was launched to project a different brand image to the public, as Swissair was no longer very popular. Since then, Swiss has positioned itself as a low-cost airline for short-haul flights. Today, the German company Lufthansa is the 100% shareholder of the Swiss airline and often offers its customers promotions on airline tickets. Thanks to its many partnerships and code-sharing agreements, the airline serves approximately one hundred destinations in around fifty countries.

Investments for the use of sustainable aviation fuels
The Swiss airline uses SAF in small quantities and collaborates with the Lufthansa Group in research and development of SAF. The goal is to produce it on a large scale and make it more widely used.
The Lufthansa Group, which includes the company, promotes the development of the "Sun-to-liquid" technology aimed at producing liquid SAF using a synthetic gas produced from heat generated by the sun, water, and CO2 from the atmosphere.
Investment in fleet renewal
The airline upgraded its fleet in 2023 and commissioned the Airbus A320neo and A321neo.
R&D for a new generation of eco-efficient aircraft
Carbon offsetting programmes
Swiss offers travellers the "Green Fare" option when booking their flight, which allows them, if they wish, to offset their flight through Myclimate and Climate Austria projects. All non-European projects are certified as "Gold Standard" or "Plan Vivo".
Optimisation of flight operations
The airline has used 100% green electricity in its main building since 2019 and plans to switch to electromobility by 2030. To optimise its operations, Swiss has developed a flight management platform in partnership with Google Cloud. Finally, it is the first in the world to integrate "solar fuel" into its flight operations.
Other environmental initiatives
In 2023, the airline supported several climate projects and optimised waste management through prevention, reuse, recycling, and disposal. On board, Swiss eliminated single-use plastic and aluminium, replacing the plastic films on the earphones with paper. The company uses an algorithm to adjust food quantities, reducing food waste by 50% with its "To Go" offer. Since 2023, Swiss has collaborated with the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association for aircraft equipment recycling.
