Swiss Post plans to cut costs by the end of 2027, a move that could lead to up to 110 layoffs.

The Swiss postal group said the reductions respond to falling mail volumes and the continuing shift toward digital services. It presented the measures as necessary to maintain its financial independence over the long term.

The plan is intended to preserve the sustainability of the public service, even as the postal business faces structural changes. The announcement follows a separate report that Swiss Post could dismiss about 60 people in its information technology operations in Switzerland.
