I guess it might be difficult to win a war with an airline backed by the airline that invested in virtually bankrupt AB and AZ
Tangent to the thread, but it appears F7 is reacting to these new routes and LX practices.
according to ch-aviation:
Darwin has meanwhile lodged a complaint against Swiss (LX, Zurich) with the Swiss competition commission WEKO. Darwin's CEO Maurizio Merlo has told Reuters that Swiss would use "predatory measures which are clearly adopted as an attempt to weaken and damage Darwin." According to the regional carrier, Swiss no longer accepts Darwin passengers during flight disruptions and is proactively launching new routes such as Geneva to Lugano or Zurich to Dresden in competition with Darwin.
