Airline: Swiss wants to terminate unvaccinated cabin crew

In August, the Lufthansa subsidiary introduced the vaccination light for crews. Now she makes it clear: Those who do not get vaccinated can expect to be given notice at the end of January 2022.

The Swiss Lufthansa subsidiary Swiss wants to terminate cabin crew who cannot be vaccinated against the corona virus. Swiss announced this on request. The Tamedia newspapers had previously reported on it.

The airline introduced compulsory vaccination for crews in August. Everyone must be fully vaccinated by December 1st. The background to this is that many countries only want to allow flight personnel into the country who have been vaccinated. More than half of the staff has already been vaccinated, it said.

Those who persist in not getting vaccinated should expect to be terminated at the end of January 2022. Employees who need more time to think about it are allowed to suspend their employment for around six months and have a right of return. “Individual solutions are being sought for crew members who can demonstrably not be vaccinated for medical reasons,” said a spokesman.
