Book your private flight to Zurich Bespoke private jet charter ZRH ACH

The World Economic Forum in Davos is held every third week of January, approximately 150 km from Zurich. From Kloten GAC, two options are available. By private sedan, allow 2h15 to 2h45 in normal winter conditions; during Forum week, security checkpoints and congestion on mountain roads can extend this to up to 3 hours. By helicopter to the Davos Stilli helisurface, the journey takes approximately 35 to 40 minutes, but helicopter slots are extremely limited during WEF and are booked several months in advance. For large aircraft, a drop-and-go operation (the aircraft departs immediately to free up space) is often imposed or recommended during the Forum period; your agent integrates this parameter from the first quote.

Yes, via Samedan Airport (LSMJ/SMV), located approximately 5 kilometers from St. Moritz, in Upper Engadine, at an altitude of 1,707 meters. The 1,800-meter runway allows light to midsize jets in normal conditions. The flight from Zurich takes about twenty minutes. In winter, alpine weather conditions can reduce operating days; high-altitude approach procedures require a systematic NOTAM check. Your agent integrates Samedan as an option from the quote request if your final destination is in the Engadine valley.

Yes, but long-term parking must be coordinated in advance with the FBO. Jet Aviation has covered hangars for stays of several days or weeks. During peak ski season (December to March), hangars fill up quickly; availability is confirmed upon flight booking. If the hangar is full, the aircraft can be repositioned to a nearby airport (e.g., Friedrichshafen, 80 kilometers away, in Germany) and return on the desired date. This repositioning option is common during WEF and can be integrated without major additional cost if planned from the outset.

LSZH’s three runways accommodate the entire spectrum of business aircraft. Runway 16/34 is 3,700 meters long (asphalt) with a Category IIIb ILS, allowing operation of a Gulfstream G700, a Bombardier Global 7500, or a Dassault Falcon 10X in full-load configuration. Runways 14/32 (3,300 meters, ILS CAT IIIb) and 10/28 (2,500 meters) serve light to super-midsize aircraft. The operational constraint is not runway length; it is the time slot (last departure 9:45 PM) and parking availability during high season.

Yes. The General Aviation Center shares its tarmac with commercial runways. All passengers must be escorted between the FBO building and the aircraft by a handler’s agent, and undergo an ICAO-compliant security check before boarding. This process, common in major international hubs, typically takes a few minutes when the FBO has been notified of the estimated arrival time. For flights outside the Schengen area, customs and passport control are also handled on-site, without passing through the commercial terminal.
