Lukas Muehlemann, Chairman of the Board Credit Suisse Group, talks a press conference in Zurich-Kloten, where a plan was released to save parts of Swiss airline Swissair Monday, October 1, 2001. Under the plan, which Swissair Group accepted on Monday, the company will sell its holding in Crossair to Switzerland's two biggest banks, UBS and Credit Suisse for about 260 million Swiss Francs. In addition, Swissair will transfer many of its key European and long-haul routes to Crossair, which in effect will become the country's flag carrier. (KEYSTONE/Franco Greco)
