Swiss International Air Lines will discontinue inflight duty-free sales at the end of September 2026, shifting operations to its online Worldshop platform through Miles & More.
The decision follows a decline in onboard purchases, with passengers increasingly researching products, comparing prices online, and buying before reaching the airport. According to the airline, spontaneous buys from the duty-free trolley have become rare.
Until September 30, 2026, the current catalog of watches, jewelry, perfumes, cosmetics, accessories, and gift items remains available. Starting in June, selected items will go on clearance with discounts of at least 25 percent while stocks last.
The limited-edition Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 SWISS, produced exclusively for inflight sales, will continue on select long-haul routes through September. The Worldshop will expand to include branded collectibles, luggage, aircraft models, and items from the SWISS Recraft collection made from decommissioned aircraft parts.
Other onboard retail, such as the Economy class SWISS Saveurs food and beverage service, will continue unchanged.
