- SWISS submitted a claim for about 510,000 Swiss francs (approximately 530,000 euros) to the Swiss state for hotel accommodation of security personnel, saying the amount had been under‑invoiced because of an internal accounting error covering the period from 2016 to 2024. The airline said it discovered the error in the third quarter of 2025 and sent the missing invoice in December.
- The claim was examined by the Swiss Federal Police and the Federal Civil Aviation Department, which concluded the amount was correct, reasonable, legal and payable. The Swiss Federal Council subsequently allocated an additional 700,000 Swiss francs to the 2026 budget for aviation security measures.
