Zurich Airport

Zurich Airport is the primary airport for Switzerland and a major European aviation hub. ZRH handles around 30 million passengers per year and sits about six miles north of central Zurich. The airport is the primary hub for Swiss International Air Lines, which is a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group and part of the Star Alliance. Zurich's network is distinctive for its density of connections to smaller European cities and its extensive operation to the Americas, Asia, and Africa despite Switzerland's relatively small population. The airport is known for its efficiency, cleanliness, and attention to passenger experience, consistently ranking among the best in Europe in traveler surveys. ZRH has three terminals (A, B, and E) connected in a single building with a train link between the main terminal and the Dock E satellite. The airport is connected to central Zurich by direct trains that run every few minutes, with the journey taking about 10 minutes. ZRH also serves as an important connecting airport for winter sports traffic to the Swiss Alps.
