Private Jet New York to Zurich | TEB to ZRH

About this route

Zurich is Switzerland's financial capital, so this route is first a business route: bankers, family offices and executives traveling to meetings in the city. In January it carries traffic to the World Economic Forum in Davos, and in winter it is a gateway to the eastern Swiss ski resorts such as St. Moritz and Klosters. Zurich Airport (ZRH) handles business aviation alongside airline traffic. An overnight eastbound flight lands you in Zurich in the morning.
