World Economic Forum Drives Traffic to Zurich
The annual conference once again provided a boost to local aviaiton service providers.
The annual World Economic Forum traffic once again exceeded Zurich Airport's limited business aircraft parking capacity, forcing operators to seek alternate airports to relocate to after dropping off passengers.

The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, is typically a magnet for business aviation, and last month's conference was no exception. Zurich Airport, the main aviation gateway to the conference, has a limited number of long-term parking stands allocated for business aviation, as does the nearby military airport in Dubendorf. To accommodate the higher traffic volumes during the conference, Zurich also enforces a maximum ground time of three hours for all short-turnaround aircraft.
