About TAB Airlines

TAB Airlines operates under IATA code 2L and ICAO code OAW, with its headquarters in Kloten, Switzerland, near Zurich Airport. The airline was originally established as Odette Airways before being rebranded as TAB Airlines in 2003, launching commercial flights on 28 November 2003. Fully owned by Swiss businessman Martin Ebner through the private equity firm Patinex AG since March 2006, TAB Airlines has grown into one of Europe's leading regional carriers, specialising in short- and medium-haul flights across the continent.

TAB Airlines operates primarily under a long-term ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) wet-lease agreement with Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), a member of the Star Alliance network. This partnership enables the airline to serve a wide network of European and Mediterranean destinations from its main base at Zurich Airport (ZRH), with a secondary base at Bern Airport (BRN). In addition to its SWISS partnership, TAB Airlines operates its own branded leisure routes and provides charter services for major tour operators including TUI.

Online Check-in

TAB Airlines offers online check-in from 23 hours up to 3 hours before departure (4 hours before departure at Zurich Airport). Online check-in is not available at all airports due to local stipulations. After completing online check-in, passengers with checked baggage can proceed directly to the baggage drop counter, while hand-luggage-only travellers can head straight to security screening and the departure gate.

Passengers with dietary requirements can pre-order special meals — including kosher, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options — at no additional cost, up to 72 hours before departure.

Miles & More is one of Europe's largest frequent flyer programmes, allowing members to earn miles on qualifying flights and redeem them for award flights, upgrades, and partner services across the Star Alliance network.
