The World Economic Forum (WEF) will take place in Davos from January 20 to 24, 2025, and Zurich Airport is expecting a significant increase in flight movements. Around 1000 additional take-offs and landings are expected due to business jets, state aircraft and increased helicopter transport. Estimates assume that the airport will have to expect an increased frequency of flights during the WEF week due to the short-notice arrivals and limited stand capacities. In recent years, additional flights have increased, particularly due to political and security-related movements during the WEF.
To continue to offer WEF guests an advanced service offering this year, Jet Aviation will continue to offer Sustainable Fuel (SAF) for refuelling the aircraft. This will enable participants to travel in a more environmentally friendly way, even though the main focus during the forum will be on the political discussions and economic issues.
For visitors to Zurich Airport, Observation Deck B will also have extended opening hours during the WEF. It will be accessible daily from 18:24 a.m. to 08:00 p.m. from January 20 to 00. Spotters will also have the opportunity to follow the action at popular locations such as the west side of the airport or in Oberglatt. Special guided tours will also be offered during the WEF day, which should be reserved early due to limited space.
