Andre Dose, chief of Swiss Air Lines aviation subsidiary, 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 SwitzerlandÕs 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 countryÕs flag carrier. (KEYSTONE/Franco Greco) ===ELECTRONIC IMAGE ===
