Former Swissair manager says ‘Argo’ scenes realistic

GENEVA, Feb 27:  A former Swissair official said the airport scenes in Oscar-winning film “Argo” were a realistic depiction of the airline’s unwitting role in the rescue of American diplomats from Tehran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Heinz Koch, who was in charge of the now defunct air carrier’s operations in Tehran at the time, said Swissair was not told about the true identities of the “very important Canadian passengers” until months after it carried the six U.S. Diplomats to safety aboard one of its airplanes.
