About Jet Aviation Zurich
Jet Aviation Zurich is the sole FBO at Zurich Airport and the only facility on the field providing both Jet A-1 and Avgas 100LL. The operation holds IS-BAH Stage 2 certification and is part of Jet Aviation's global network, which spans more than 50 locations worldwide under the General Dynamics umbrella.
The terminal is a multifunctional facility designed for both passengers and crews, located about 15 minutes from the Zurich city center. Inside, an executive lounge and conference room serve passenger needs, while crew amenities include a dedicated lounge, snooze rooms for rest between flights, and wireless internet throughout. Immigration and customs are processed on-site, along with weather briefings and flight planning facilities.
Hangar infrastructure includes a 2,500-square-meter hangar adjacent to the terminal and a second arched hangar of nearly 5,000 square meters, providing storage and maintenance space for aircraft of various sizes. Two private ramps totaling approximately 10,000 square meters give the facility substantial aircraft parking capacity. Jet Aviation also offers line maintenance services at the Zurich FBO, meaning minor technical issues can be resolved on-site.
Ground handling covers all standard services: fueling, aircraft cleaning both interior and exterior, GPU, ground services, and coordination of catering from local providers. The concierge team arranges ground transportation to Zurich's banking district, luxury hotels, and onward connections to destinations like Lucerne, Davos, or the Engadin valley.
For charter passengers, Jet Aviation Zurich provides a single-provider experience where ground handling, terminal services, hangar storage, and maintenance all come from one company. The IS-BAH certification, global network consistency, and the practical advantage of being the only FBO at Switzerland's busiest airport make it the default choice for private aviation at LSZH.
