Zurich, Geneva and Basel are Switzerland’s main international gateways, with overlapping city and cross-border markets. Geneva serves western Switzerland and many French Alpine destinations; Basel airport has a special trinational location; and Zurich is the principal gateway for central and eastern cities. Bern and Lugano have limited air service.
City-to-airport planning should account for motorway vignettes, mountain passes, tunnels, border formalities and the correct national exit at Basel where relevant.
