Swissair Flight Status
About Swissair
Swissair is an airline based in Switzerland, listed under the ICAO code SWR and the IATA code SR; air traffic control addresses its flights by the callsign "Swissair". On this page you can follow Swissair flights and find the airports it serves.
How to read a Swissair flight number
Every Swissair flight number starts with SR, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix SWR, and controllers address it as "Swissair". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Swissair and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about Swissair
Where is my Swissair flight right now?
Search the flight number (SR plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.
Is my Swissair flight delayed or cancelled?
Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.
What do SR and SWR mean on Swissair flights?
They are two prefixes for the same airline. SR is the IATA code you see on tickets; SWR is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.
Does Swissair operate flights for other airlines?
Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by Swissair, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
