Faster by the feeder

Article Abstract:

Swissair's decision to adopt a new timetable concept has been protested by the Western Swiss. Since the new timetable involves the strengthening of Zurich and the elimination of intercontinental flights to and from Geneva, the Western Swiss claim that the move is an acknowledgment of the economic dominance of German-speaking compatriots. Users of the Geneva-based Cointrin airport will also be greatly inconvenienced by the new arrangement. Meanwhile, Swissair claims that it still considers Geneva as its base and does not at all plan on giving up on the region.
