Switzerland needs a hub at Zurich Airport

AEROSUISSE welcomes the clear rejection of the ‘Night Rest’ initiative by the Zurich Cantonal Government.

It is clear to AEROSUISSE that a further reduction of half an hour in operating hours would make it impossible to operate a hub at Zurich Airport. This is a clear contradiction to the Swiss Confederation's aviation strategy. Switzerland needs an efficient air transport system to ensure employment, prosperity and competitiveness. Without hub operations, Switzerland will fall behind other industrialised countries in terms of accessibility and attractiveness as a business location.
