Flight cancellations after storms & stable banks
Severe thunderstorms severely restricted air and road traffic in Switzerland overnight. In addition, the National Bank gives a positive assessment of the security of Swiss banks.
At Zurich Airport, around 70 flights were cancelled due to the weather situation, and numerous aircraft had to divert to other airports. Travelers are requested to check their flight status before departure. In Uri, the storm led to the closure of the A2 motorway (Gotthard route). Damage also occurred in Bern, while a major concert at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich was affected by heavy rainfall.
From a financial perspective, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) classifies the banking system as very resilient. According to the Financial Stability Report for 2026 published today, Swiss banks are well-positioned to handle economic crises.
