Communities angry: Airport imposes fireworks ban on August 1

Fireworks are taboo around Kloten Airport.

Fireworks are very fashionable these days. One startup wants to ban them entirely. Pet owners support the cause. And red-green politicians interested in saving the climate. Did you enjoy the traditional August 1 fireworks display? fireworks shame! On the same level as flight embarrassment.

Now Zurich Airport is getting involved in the heated debate. According to the latest Höri ZH news release, Zurich Airport cannot meet the municipality’s demand for fireworks due to heavy air traffic. Therefore, as “Tages-Anzeiger” writes, official fireworks should be cancelled.

Special fireworks are not allowed

Even private fireworks are not allowed in Höriberg. There is an absolute ban on fireworks. The public doesn’t like it. SVP community head Roger Götz is “not enthusiastic” as he told Tagi. He could not understand the decision. Negotiations with the airport would be fruitless. “As a community on the escape route, we have to accept this decision for better or for worse,” he says resignedly.

Also, there are no fireworks in Niederglatt ZH this year. Airport “No!” says. The municipality was to store fireworks that could not be ignited a year ago due to severe drought. “This has disturbed and disappointed us,” SVP community head Stefan Schmid says in the report.

Airport shows security reasons

How does the airport justify a ban on several rocket launches on National Day? “We regret that we were not able to approve the application of the municipalities of Höri and Niederglatt.” Many special fireworks mean that flight operations need to be modified for safety reasons. This limits the capacity of the airport. And it causes delays.

“Our analysis shows that an additional disruption to flight operations will mean more delays beyond the nightly shutdown,” a spokesperson for “Tages-Anzeiger” said. Schmid can only nod at this. “It is already not quiet because of the fireworks in the early hours of August 1. It is incomprehensible that the airport is insisting on a nighttime lockdown on this very day.” (be)
