St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport LSZR
4,921 ft · 75 min · customs · Mon–Fri 06:30–12:00 & 13:30–21:00, Sat 07:30–12:00 & 13:30–20:00, Sun 10:00–12:00 & 13:30–20:00
A privately run business airport on Lake Constance, an hour east of Zurich and the closest field to Liechtenstein, Bregenz and the St. Gallen business cluster. Customs clearing with no advance notice; the midday closure and 1,500 m runway are the main constraints. Useful overflow during Zurich's WEF peak.
Zurich Airport LSZH
12,139 ft · 15 min · customs · 06:00–23:00 (delays tolerated to 23:30; strict night ban)
Switzerland's principal hub with a well-equipped GA sector on the airport's north side, 15 minutes from Bahnhofstrasse and Paradeplatz. Strict night curfew and slot coordination require punctual planning; peak WEF week (January) sees the GA apron full and diversions to Dübendorf and St. Gallen. Excellent MRO and completions base (Jet Aviation).
