Zurich Airport News
EHM-1465 Dominic:
There's a ton of events going on around Switzerland as we start 2008!
Some of the best ones are:-
- the 24 hour ski or snowboarding race in Villars-sur-Ollon sponsored by Jacques Villeneuve on the 12th to 13th
- the International Hot Air Balloon meet at Crans-Montana from 13th to 15th
- the World Snow Festival with snow sculpture contest at Grindelwald from 14th to 19th
- and my favourite, the International Inferno Races at Muerren from 16th to 19th...
All these events will bring snow loving travellers from far afield into our beautiful Alpine region so why not get behind your yoke and fly them here ;)
And while you're waiting for the Events to finish so you can take them all home again, I suggest you could try our own airborne version of the Inferno Races...
Pick a small jet like the Fokker 70 and fly from Sion (LSGS) to Ambri (LSPM) as close to full speed as you can and as close to the ground as you can AND as close to a direct GPS course as you can!! This should test your piloting skills nicely as you climb and descend the valleys and peaks at 300 knots :P
(Please ensure all fare paying passengers have disembarked before you try this...)
Have fun !
There's always something new at Zurich !

The World Economic Forum comes to Davos tomorrow!
As you'll see if you read this newspaper article business leaders, politicians, celebrities and the media are descending in force on the ski resort at Davos for a week of deal making and discussions! (For more information have a look here.)
Of course this means the airways will be busier than ever so all able bodied Zurich Hub pilots are requested to report to base and help bring the world to Switzerland ;)

Zurich's going to be a busy city in 2008 according to this real world magazine available from the Zurich tourism website - there are loads of events happening throughout the year as well as articles about the city and region...
And the Zurich Airport RW newsletter is also out here with news of the latest increase in passenger numbers at LSZH, new shops and a first class lounge as well as an auction of Formula One cars at the airport!
So you can keep abreast of real world developments at our hub with these interesting publications!
