On United, which I fly a lot, you can turn to channel 9 and hear conversations between air traffic control and the flight deck crews on flights in the area of your flight. One purpose would be to allow passengers advance notice when the plane is going to change direction, begin a descent, etc. Also, you can get some indication of where you are when you hear air traffic control request that your flight switch to a different air traffic control center. Another purpose would be to listen to air traffic control direct air traffic in the vicinity of your flight, just because some people are interested in that.

Does anybody know about Swiss Airlines...?

TWA used to allow it. More and more, airlines are reluctant to do this, as incidents have occurred in the past of passengers questioning the crew, about so-and-so transmission.
The other issue is, you may misunderstand what you're hearing, and that can cause consternation among passengers.
So to avoid hassling the air crew, and potential lawsuits, airlines don't do it too often.
