Swiss admits to errors

Swiss International Air Lines confirmed reports that navigation
maps supplied to its pilots contained errors, but the carrier
insisted that passenger safety was not compromised. An
investigation by Swiss newspapers found errors in data
contained on the maps relating to radio frequencies, guidance
signals and approach angles. A spokesman for Swiss said:
"Pilots have computers on board for navigation and they can
call air traffic control." There are no plans to change the maps.
