Swissair, long considered one of the world's highest quality carriers, stopped flying at midday Tuesday, several hours after its parent company, Swissair Group, filed for bankruptcy protection.

Swissair spokesman Patrick Gendrin declined to say what payments were owed in London, but other Swissair officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they concerned unpaid landing fees.
