After the vote it was yes: Zurich Airport will not start extending the runways until 2030 at the earliest

Airport boss Lukas Brosi wants to continue discussions with the population after the vote on the runway extensions.

The delay situation after 11 p.m. in particular must be improved, airport boss Lukas Brosi said on Friday during the presentation of the 2023 annual balance sheet.

As expected, Brosi was satisfied with the outcome of last Sunday’s vote. The question of whether two of the three runways at the airport should be extended has developed into a fundamental yes or no debate about the airport. But the benefits had been recognized, said the airport’s CEO, who spoke of widespread support despite only one district rejecting the idea.

According to Brosi, Flughafen Zürich AG will now prepare and submit the application for a construction permit to the federal government. Because the company expects the process to take a very long time, the company does not expect to be able to start construction until 2030 at the earliest.

Runway 28 will be extended by 400 meters to the west to a new total length of 2,900 meters and runway 32 will be extended by 280 meters to the north to a new length of 3,580 meters. Voters in Zurich supported the project on Sunday with a yes vote of 61.7 percent. (SDA)
