Zurich Airport News
EHM-1465 Dominic:
This weekend sees the "Geneva Classics" historic transportation event coming to town :P
From 4th to 7th October at Geneva Palexpo Exhibition Centre, there will be a huge display of classic cars, motorcycles, boats and... you guessed it, planes ;)
According to the official website here this will include some examples of early passenger aircraft so it should be a treat for all us aviation fans...
If anyone is planning on visiting the show in the RW, it would be wonderful to see some pictures here... ;)
Or alternatively, feel free to recreate the event in the sim with an EHM DC-3 or JU-52 around Daniel Gauthier's fantastic addon scenery for LSGG (the airport's right next to the Palexpo centre) which you can get here if you haven't already got it...
You could even join in the car display using this old Jaguar if you'd like ;D
EDIT:-
A quick shot for you all showing just how close the Palexpo Centre is to the airport !!
Maybe you can get more dramatic pics of the old planes showing off..? ;) Feel free to post your own pictures...

Great finds and superb information as always.

Zurich Airport's latest (RW) newsletter is out :8
It includes items on the 6.7% increase in passengers using our airport since this time last year, improvements to the VIP lounge our EuroBusiness clients enjoy so much and a number of awards the airport has recently received including the title of 'Europe's Best Airport' for the fourth year running...
Get the full newsletter here :P
And if you're looking for ideas for flights, why not check out the forthcoming Davidoff Swiss Indoor Tennis Championship which runs from 20th to 28th of this month? World Number 1 Roger Federer is bound to be there, who knows he may even arrive aboard a EuroBusiness Pilatus PC-12 from Zurich, flight B235... :8
If tennis isn't your thing, there's also the International Valais Rally taking place from 25th to 27th... This year it's part of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and is bound to gain plenty of media attention with famous drivers arriving from all round the globe... So there will be plenty of demand for flights into both Zurich and Geneva ;)
There's always something new at Zurich !

The ski season is upon us! :8
According to this page from MySwitzerland.com our Swiss airports are going to start buzzing shortly with holidaymakers on their way to the ski slopes to break a leg or two :P
So the EuroHolidays fleet requires skilled pilots to get them there (and possibly to medivac them out in the Agusta 109!)
Suggested flights (crammed full of skis in the overhead lockers) include:-
EHM H675 LFPO-LSZH (Class 3)
EHM H471 EGLL-LSZB (Class 4)
EHM H721 EIKN-LSZH (Class 5)
EHM H913 LPPT-LSGS (Class 5)
EHM H404 TNCM-LSZH (Class 7)
Better start your checklists!!
There's always something new at Zurich !
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Top quality comedy is coming to Switzerland this week as the Montreux Comedy Festival returns to the shores of Lake Geneva. :P
Many of the best known stars in stand-up comedy will be flying into the region ahead of the festival's start on Tuesday 4th (and continuing until Sunday 9th) so if you're looking for a flight with a difference why not 'fly some laughs' into LSGG this week - just try and keep a straight face on finals please... ;)
There's always something new at Zurich !
