Why should this airline be added?
Crossair was founded in 1975 with its initial flights being operated from Zurich to Nuremberg, Klagenfurt and INN. It was based at Basel but a majority of its flights were from Zurich which ofc is the next new airline in-game. The airline became part of Swissair group in the mid-1990s and when the parent collapsed in 2001 in the massive controversy that was, Crossair took on a majority of Swissair’s assets and rebranded itself to Swiss which ofc still flies today.

It would make for an excellent addition to ZRH operations or at the very least for a couple of specials considering how much of an impact this airline has had on Swiss aviation and Zurich. Plus it has quite a few fantastic special liveries which would be good to see too.

Bit of history, turns out they ordered the E190 too.
