Landing Permit Services for Efficient Operations at Zurich Airport (IATA: ZRH, ICAO: LSZH) by Just Aviation

To apply for a landing permit at Zurich Airport, several key documents are required. These include a detailed flight plan, outlining the aircraft’s route, estimated times of arrival and departure, and alternate airports. Proof of aircraft registration and an airworthiness certificate must be provided, along with a valid insurance certificate covering the aircraft and its operations. A noise certificate is required to demonstrate compliance with Zurich Airport’s noise abatement procedures. Commercial operators must also provide a valid Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC), and detailed information on the purpose of the flight, including passenger or cargo details if applicable, must be submitted.

Zurich Airport operates 24 hours a day, but there are restrictions on night operations to minimize noise, with specific hours and restrictions detailed in the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP). For private flights, landing permit applications should be submitted at least 48 hours before the planned arrival time. Charter flights require applications at least 72 hours in advance, and for flights needing special handling or exemptions, it is recommended to apply at least one week in advance.
