A current strike by French air traffic controllers and some ground staff is already having a “significant” impact on flights operating through French air space.
“Long delays are to be expected,” the airline stated on Monday, adding that passengers might also be hit by isolated cancellations.
“Our employees have been working intensively for the last few days to keep our flight schedule as stable as possible,” said SWISS Head of Operations Oliver Buchhofer.
“Our top priority is to avoid cancellations, and we also want to operate our flights as punctually as possible, which unfortunately will not always be possible.”
Buchhofer added that the current spate of strike action is unprecedented. Last weekend, 23 flights were cancelled due to industrial action in Italy.
