Questions

What discerning travellers ask

Answers grounded in real detail at Zurich, and equally useful background wherever you fly.

When was Zurich founded?

Zurich opened in 1948, when its first runway received the inaugural Swissair flight to London, growing into the country's flagship hub.

How many runways does ZRH have, and how long are they?

Three runways, the longest around 3,700 metres, handling the largest aircraft on long-haul departures.

How busy is it?

Zurich handled over 31 million passengers and around 261,100 movements in 2024, the busiest airport in Switzerland.

Does it operate around the clock?

No. Zurich operates from 0600 to 2300 with a night curfew, and we plan departure and arrival timing around it.

Why fly private into and out of Zurich?

Zurich offers long runways, full handling, a dedicated executive sector, and the widest network in Switzerland, with quick rail access to the city and the Alps.

Which aircraft is right for my trip?

Zurich takes any cabin. A family to the Alps takes a Citation Latitude; a board to a summit uses a Challenger 350; an intercontinental sector to New York suits a Gulfstream G650ER. We match the cabin to the day.

What does a private jet charter actually cost?

Private jet hire from Zurich is quoted per trip, by aircraft and flight time. A short European hop starts in the lower thousands of euros; transatlantic heavy jets reach six figures. We settle in euros (EUR), and where you prefer, in Swiss francs (CHF) or US dollars.

Can I fly with very little notice?

Zurich operates to a night curfew, so timing matters. For transatlantic or long sectors we ask for around four hours to arrange slots, permits, and crew. A daytime regional hop can be set up in under an hour, around fifty-five minutes, with documents and payment ready.

How early do I need to arrive before departure?

At Zurich you typically arrive through the FBO fifteen to thirty minutes before departure, step through a private lounge, and board directly, no queues and no public concourse. We confirm the exact timing with your final details.

What is the luggage allowance on a private jet?

A Gulfstream G650ER carries full luggage and ski equipment for a party of twelve; a midsize takes eight to ten cases. We size the hold at quoting stage for your flight to Zurich.

Can my pet travel in the cabin with me?

Pets travel in the cabin. Switzerland applies EU-aligned rules and accepts the EU pet passport, microchip, and valid rabies vaccination; non-EU origins may need extra paperwork. Request the full document checklist for Zurich via WhatsApp.

How do I get a quote and confirm a booking?

It is simple and quick. To hire a private jet to or from Zurich, send your route details to Fly With Andreea over WhatsApp, receive option prices within minutes, and choose the aircraft that suits you. Send your travel documents, request the charter contract for confirmation, then proceed with payment. From first message to confirmed booking is often a single conversation, and we can also flag suitable empty leg flights when the timing fits.

How much does it cost to charter a private jet from Zurich?

Chartering a private jet from Zurich costs from €4,500 for a short light jet hop up to €136,500 for the longest routes on this page, always quoted as one fixed all-in figure. See the full cost guide at flywithandreea.com/private-jet-charter-cost, and message Andreea for a firm figure for your dates.

How much is a private jet from Zurich to Frankfurt?

About EUR 4,500 to EUR 6,000 on a light jet, roughly 0h 46m in the air. The exact figure depends on the date and aircraft positioning; Andreea confirms one fixed all-in price in writing.

How much is a 2 hour private jet flight?

As a rule of thumb, EUR 5,600 to 9,400 on a light jet and EUR 9,400 to 12,600 on a midsize, before positioning and handling. A two hour flight from Zurich covers roughly 1,300 km, city pairs like the routes listed above.

How long is a private jet flight from Zurich to Paris?

About 1h 00m wheels up to wheels down on a light jet, with boarding at the private terminal taking minutes rather than hours. Timings vary with winds and routing.

Is it cheaper to fly first class or by private jet?

For one traveller on a trunk route, first class is usually cheaper. For a family or a team, once you divide the aircraft price by seats and count the hours saved through the private terminal, charter from Zurich is often closer than people expect, and an empty leg can beat first class outright.

Do you tip a private jet pilot?

It is never expected and always appreciated. Crews are professionals paid accordingly; if the service was exceptional, a tip or a note to the operator lands equally well. There is no etiquette obligation either way.
