Starting in 2026, Switzerland will implement a centralized system for the collection of flight passenger data, as approved by the National Council. The law aims to enhance the capabilities of police and security agencies in combating terrorism and serious crime. While the legislation will facilitate data sharing between airlines and authorities, concerns regarding privacy and the potential for overreach have been raised. Critics argue that the system could lead to violations of personal rights, despite government assurances that sensitive personal information will not be transmitted.
