The World Economic Forum will take place again in Davos in mid-January 2024. Zurich-Kloten Airport expects that numerous special visitors will appear again. For spotters there are special tours and longer opening hours on spectator terrace B.
This year's World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos will take place from January 15 to 19, 2024. In the days before, during and after the WEF, additional flight movements of business jets and state aircraft as well as increased political and security-related helicopter transports are expected. In total, around 1000 additional flight movements are expected during this period, as in previous years. Due to the short-term nature of the visits and the limited number of stands, this number is only an estimate. As in 2020, Jet Aviation, in collaboration with Zurich Airport, is offering WEF guests the opportunity to refuel their aircraft with a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blend.
Aviation fans and those interested can watch the action from various spotter places, for example from the spotter place on the west side of the airport, in the north from the spotter place in Oberglatt or from the viewing terrace B. The opening times will be extended during the WEF days: From Saturday, January 13th to Friday, January 19th, spectator terrace B will be open daily from 08:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. The government aircraft expected this year include aircraft types such as the Boeing 747-800, 747-900 and 777 as well as the Airbus 330 and 340.
