PPR only, which is only approved if you can prove business within ~10km

Handling required. For a SEP overnight stay, expect a sum of airport/atc/handling/passenger/parking fees starting >500chf.

Both VFR & IFR traffic are subject to airport slots. Earliest booking on the previous day (might be blocked due to reduced airport capacity, events, etc). Slots are available in the following blocks as of Jan 2026 (LT). CTR crossing is normally possible within the VFR blocks, rather not outside.

VFR (+-15m tolerance): 08:15-08:45 (weekdays only), 10:45-11:30, 14:45-16:30, 18:45-19:30, 19:30-20:30 (weekdays only)

IFR inbound (+-5m tolerance): 08:50-09-15 (weekdays only), 09:15-10:15, 12:30-15:15, 17:00-18:30, 20:15-20:45

IFR outbound (+-5m tolerance): 08:15-08:25 (weekdays only), 10:30-11:30, 14:15-16:30, 18:40-19:25, 21:15-21:45

Previous pirep all valid. Great opening times. Instead of the crappy airport restaurants, look for "Terminal 23" - a decent burger place nearby.
