Zurich ZRH Airport Overview

Zurich Airport ZRH is one of two major internatinal Swiss airports (the other is Geneva), and is gateway to beautiful Switzerland, to Europe and the World.

The Airport is located 13 km north of the City of Zurich, Switzerland and situated partially within the towns of Kloben, Rumlang & Oberglatt, in the Zurich Kanton. The Airport is accessible via motorways A20 & A51 connecting Zurich, Bern, Basel & St. Gallen. If you drive via Zurich-Nordring Autobahn A1/A20, take exit 62 to Zurich Seebach, direction Rumland, then to 'Im Rohr / Tor 130'. The main train station in central Zurich can be reached within 12 minutes via six hourly trains.

With three long runways and an estimated 24.8 million passengers in 2012, Zurich Airport is a hub for Swiss International and Edelweiss Air, and is served by numerous domestic, international and low-fare airlines, as well as by seasonal charters, offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

Checking in - While Airport checkin at either checkin areas 1, 2 or 3 is available for all airlines, and evening check-in at the airport for a limited number air airlines - more and more airlines are now offering web-based checkin service.
