Like its parent, Swiss Global was part of the Star Alliance. It had its legal headquarters[6] in Basel; the physical head office was on the grounds of Zürich Airport and the town of Kloten.[7][8] Swiss Global Air Lines operated scheduled flights in the name and corporate design of its parent Swiss International to European metropolitan and some leisure destinations from Zürich Airport as well as some long-haul routes on behalf of its parent.
By 19 April 2018, all aircraft and employees were transferred to the parent company as part of a new labour agreement. Therefore, Swiss Global Air Lines was dissolved.[9]
