This year, World Economic Forum is resuming its normal location and dates, following several years that were impacted by the pandemic. If you are planning to operate to Switzerland for the event, take note of the following information to ensure efficient operations all throughout. Visa requirements may vary depending on nationality and duration of stay. Find out if you need a visa here.
Third-country nationals planning for a short stay that does not exceed 90 days, in any period of days, must have travel documents that are still valid at least three months after their intended date of departure from Switzerland. The documents should have been issued within the previous 10 years.
For private flights, the best airport option is Samedan Airport, a dedicated private aviation airport located in the Engadin valley of Switzerland. Samedan Airport is also the highest elevated airport in Europe; its unique geographical location features challenging topography, winds and thin air due to its high altitude.
Overnight parking can be arranged on a first come, first served basis due to limited parking availability. In case overnight parking is not available, a quick turnaround can be arranged. Geneva Airport, unofficially known as Cointrin Airport, is conveniently located in the city center, while LSZM also referred to as EuroAirport is situated about seven kilometers northwest of Basel city center.
Requesting a fuel release prior to arrival is highly recommended to prevent delays on fuel delivery. To get a fuel quotation, please contact fueldispatch jetex. Handling is mandatory in Samedan, Zurich and Geneva airports. Jetex provides ground handling to any aircraft in Samedan, Zurich, Geneva and EuroAirport through our network of partners. For non-commercial flights in Geneva, the return of the aircraft, after exiting the security restricted access area to the public area, is only possible with a handling agent.
