Aerosuisse
Aerosuisse (proper spelling AEROSUISSE) is the umbrella organization for the Swiss aerospace industry, based in the federal capital of Bern .
The association, founded in May 1968, acts as an umbrella organization for the interests of Swiss civil aviation and space travel. It represents all parties interested in the promotion and maintenance of these areas and coordinates their efforts.
The association is involved in shaping the legal basis in the field of Swiss aerospace and maintains contact with the government, parliamentarians and authorities involved, as well as the media. The chairman is the flight captain and national councilor Thomas Hurter.
In order to ensure efficient representation of Swiss aerospace at parliamentary level, the secretariat of the Parliamentary Aerospace Group (PGL) was incorporated into the association. In particular, the PGL informs the Federal Assembly about current aviation policy issues.
Today the association has around 130 organizations:
- Scheduled and charter airlines
