Geneva, 26 July 2022 – Skyguide, Switzerland's air navigation service provider, managed and monitored 522 006 flights under instrument flight rules (IFR) in the first half of 2022. This represents a year-on-year increase of 156.7%, and a decline of 17.3% with respect to the first half of 2019. Air traffic in the airspace above Switzerland and in the delegated areas managed by Skyguide recovered at a steady pace, especially since the start of the summer season to reach 90% of 2019 traffic levels (month-on-month) by the end of the first semester. 97.7% of all flights handled by Skyguide were punctual, which is 0.5 point above the punctuality of the first half of 2019. The Ukrainian crisis has had no im-pact on the traffic flows through Switzerland, and hence has not resulted in any increase or decrease of traffic.
