Internship in Public Affairs (limited 6 months, 80-100%, all genders)

Aviation benefits the economy and society; it connects people and the world. However, it burdens the environment with noise and other emissions. It is our task to navigate in this sea of clashing interests and maintain the dialogue with all stakeholders to help SWISS to fulfill its mission as the Airline of Switzerland.

Starting date: November 01, 2025
