Print Article E-Mail Article

The Nuance Group and its business partners have teamed up to help stranded Swissair passengers. Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures and the company announced that today's profits are being donated for this purpose. In a first step, Zurich airport will receive SFr200,000 ($124,000) and Geneva airport SFr100,000 ($62,000).

The grounding of the Swissair fleet for two days in a row has left innumerable passengers stranded at various airports. Many of them lack the means to pay for a ticket on another airline to take them home. In Zurich alone, 400 people spent last night in provisional shelters.

Nuance said it is deeply concerned about the sad developments that hit its parent company Swissair Group. In order to provide some help, Nuance will support airport authorities by donating profits for the support of stranded passengers.
 
The Nuance Group president and ceo, Peter Petersen, said: "We are saddened by the events surrounding Swissair and the distress now faced by all these stranded passengers. We have therefore decided to help our airport partners to help, and would like to extend a big thank you to them for looking after our joint customers so well."
