Suddenly it got very tight. Since the Swiss army wanted to approve and invoice all events on the airport grounds in Dübendorf ZH individually from next year, the museum association feared for its income.
The federal government and not the association and foundation that run the museum at the airport should be responsible for events, the “NZZ” reported in November. New contracts now give the club the opportunity to hold events in the halls, he announced on Tuesday.
Celebrities campaigned for the museum
The potential revenue and negotiated leases secure the future of the museum and the Air Force Center, the statement said. In recent weeks, “numerous personalities from the military, politics and society” have been campaigning for the museum.
The association “Friends of the Air Force” also announces that Kurt Waldmeier, head of the foundation and association and former head of Ju-Air, is stepping down. He is replaced by two managing directors, but remains vice-chairman of the association.
The flights of “Aunt Ju” were another source of income for the association. They were shut down after a plane crash in 2018 that killed all 20 people on board. (SDA)
