The GFL-EPP had originally demanded in the form of a binding proposal that the city sell its shares in Flughafen Bern AG. Flying contributes above average to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
The municipality admitted that the deployment was not a lucrative investment. However, public participation is common at larger airports, such as Zurich, Geneva or Basel-Mulhouse. As a shareholder, the city has, at least to a limited extent, influence on the development of Bern-Belp Airport.
Selling the shares is not recommended at this time. Moreover, the city’s share ownership is not high and a sale of the shares would hardly make a noticeable contribution to reducing the debt burden.
In 2019, the municipality initiated a process with its ‘comprehensive climate action plan’ to manage the city’s assets in a climate-neutral manner in the future. Only after such a basis is in place can the city assess whether a sale of the shares is desirable.
The city council therefore proposed to accept the proposal as a non-binding postulate and to examine the desirability of the city’s participation in Flughafen Bern AG at a later date.
The council approved this approach by 48 votes in favor and 13 against with one abstention.
