Zurich / Switzerland, January 27, 2014 – The Jet Aviation Zurich FBO again handled the bulk of aircraft
and delegates attending the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) held this year in Davos, Switzerland from
January 22-25, 2014. With notably larger aircraft flying into Zurich carrying more passengers this year, Jet
Aviation Zurich handled 726 movements and 1,946 passengers.
Each year, the Jet Aviation Zurich FBO ramps up to meet handling demand in the days leading up to and
during the annual World Economic Forum. Last week, Jet Aviation managed 726 WEF movements and 1,946
passengers, further supporting WEF fuel sales of more than 1,100,000 liters. The company also handled the
majority of business jets at the nearby military airport in Dubendorf, Switzerland.
“Handling the massive surge in aircraft movements during WEF is a real challenge and I’m very pleased to see
our FBO team of professionals rise to the occasion once again,” says Monica Beusch, general manager of Jet
Aviation Zurich and head of FBO Services in EMEA and Asia. “We offered a warm welcome to numerous heads
of state and other VIPs arriving in Zurich and ensured their seamless transfer to the prestigious WEF event in
Davos by anticipating their needs and providing the highest quality of handling services.”
