With the end of restrictions in most European countries, economic activity is picking up again across the continent. For business aviation in Switzerland, this noticeable return in demand means they can keep investing in this essential tool for the whole region.
For diplomacy and the economy, business aviation has always been a working aviation, a tool primarily serving professionals in industry and commerce, which is a real strategic advantage for Switzerland. It benefits the whole country.
‘The health crisis has further highlighted the unique characteristics and particular advantages of this type of aviation: availability for emergencies, maximum flexibility, tailor-made services adapted to the constraints of the moment, while integrating health and regulatory requirements,’ explained Walter Chetcuti, president of the Geneva Business Aviation Association (AGAA).
While aviation in general came to a near standstill during the Covid crisis, business aviation services were able to maintain a certain volume of work and thus the skills associated with their activity.
This is encouraging news in a situation where all independent studies have shown the importance of our aviation industry for our country’s economic conditions. Now is the right time to secure the future of our industry and Switzerland’s optimal attractiveness.
