Bundling of expertise in the business travel sector under the ‘bta first travel’ brand
With the acquisition of the Hotelplan Group, including bta first travel, DERTOUR Suisse is repositioning itself and clearly committing to the strength of its brands and to a broad range of offerings for every travel need.
At the same time, resources in the business travel sector are to be pooled. Kuoni Business Travel and bta first travel will be merged into a single organisation. As part of this process, the Kuoni Business Travel brand is expected to be gradually phased out of market communications in order to ensure a uniform and clear market presence.
This step will strengthen brand recognition, simplify customer communication and sharpen positioning in the SME segment. As part of the merger, there are also plans to consolidate three locations. The focus will continue to be on personal service and local presence: together, customers will be advised and supported at an expected ten locations, two of which will be located directly on the customers’ premises.

Renovation - passengers should expect long queues at security checks
Security checks at Zurich Airport are being upgraded to CT scanners. This will result in waiting times of up to 45 minutes.
In brief:
• Due to construction work at security, queues of up to 45 minutes are expected at times.
• Passengers should allow plenty of time, as there is no prioritisation at the checkpoints.
The airport is deploying additional staff to speed up the screening process.
