Zurich to Munich is 261 km and about 40 min in the air, measured on flights into Munich Airport: the median of five business jets we found in Flightradar24 records for early October 2026. Oberpfaffenhofen, west of the city, is a second arrival. Indicative price from €3 600 one way for the whole aircraft. Written options within 30 minutes; +357 95 119759 is staffed 24/7.
From Zurich into Bavaria in well under an hour, with the whole day left for Munich.
REQUEST A QUOTEOne of the shortest international hops we publish, between Switzerland's largest business centre and the capital of Bavaria. In our tracking week it was flown mainly by light jets and the Pilatus PC-24, with a Challenger 350 and a Legacy 500 for bigger groups.
Sources: flight time as the median of 5 business-jet flights LSZH to EDDM in Flightradar24 records, 30 September to 7 October 2026; distance as great-circle between OurAirports coordinates; runways and codes: OurAirports, 7 October 2026; types: Flightradar24, October 2026.
A single Swiss departure and a choice of two Bavarian fields. The right arrival is the one nearest your first appointment.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle from Zurich | Why it is on this list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zurich | ZRH / LSZH | departure | Three runways of 2,500 to 3,700 m and 25,866 business-aviation movements in 2023. Slot-coordinated and closed to movements overnight; every flight we tracked on this sector started here. |
| Munich | MUC / EDDM | 261 km | Two runways of 4,000 m north-east of the city, with business aviation handled in its own terminal. Five tracked jets arrived here, and the flight time on this page is measured on them; late arrivals meet night restrictions. |
| Oberpfaffenhofen | OBF / EDMO | 216 km | A 2,286 m runway at Wessling, south-west of Munich, used almost entirely by business aviation. Two tracked jets landed here, 45 km nearer Zurich than the main airport; they are not counted in the time we print. |
Range and speed hardly matter on a sector of half an hour. What decides the aircraft is how many of you there are and how much you carry.
Seen on this sector in our tracking week. Six to eight seats and a proper hold; for most day trips it is all the aircraft you need.
Phenom 300 ›Also seen on the route. Six or seven seats in a seated cabin, chosen for its low cost on very short hops with briefcases rather than suitcases.
Citation CJ2 ›The largest type we saw on this pairing that week. Eight or nine seats and a stand-up cabin wide enough to hold a meeting on the way.
Challenger 350 ›Types from Flightradar24 records of this sector, 30 September to 7 October 2026 (also a Pilatus PC-24, a Citation Mustang, a Citation M2 and a Legacy 500). Seat bands from our partner operators' aircraft pages.
From €3 600 one way. Indicative starting price for this route, rounded down. The date, the aircraft actually available and airport fees move it — tell us your dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.
It matches the figure we print for Zurich to Milan, the other short hop out of Zurich that we publish. Weeks with a major fair at the Munich exhibition grounds, the Oktoberfest fortnight and a bigger cabin are what move a real offer above it.
On a hop of this length the minimum charge matters more than the flight time, so a return the same day on one quotation usually beats two one-way flights. Ask for both and compare.
A reference figure for comparing routes, not a quotation. Call +357 95 119759, 24/7.
GET A FIRM PRICEThe case for flying this sector is not speed in the air but control of the day. You leave Zurich at the hour you choose, from a terminal with no queues, and land at the Munich field nearest your meeting.
It pays most when the day has two ends: out in the morning, back to Zurich in the evening, with the same crew waiting. Name both times when you enquire and we quote the day as one job.
South over the Alps to the Riviera, if Bavaria is only the first stop.
