Switzerland – Miscellaneous business and business-related services

Based on Article 29b of the Ordinance on Aviation Infrastructure (VIL) and in conjunction with Council Directive 96/67/EC of 15 October 1996 on access to the market for ground handling services at Community airports (Directive 96/67/EC), Flughafen Zürich AG has regulated access to the market for ground handling services at Zurich Airport in its Zurich Airport Operating Regulations of 30 June 2011 (BR). Baggage handling, ramp services, and apron-side cargo and mail handling are subject to restricted market access. The selection of self-handling operators and service providers in the restricted areas is carried out via a public tender process. The selection decision is made by Flughafen Zürich AG. The existing handling authorizations for the restricted areas will expire without replacement or renewal option on 30 November 2025.
