WEF Apron Photo Tours at Zurich Airport
Every year we organize various apron photo tours at Zurich Airport during the World Economic Forum. On our tours, you have the opportunity to photograph the action and the various aircraft of the WEF participants from the front row. We drive in a passenger bus to various predetermined photo points on the apron, where we are allowed to get off to take our photos and observations. We offer tours during the day and in the evening (night tour) so that different moods can be experienced and photographed on the apron.
The WEF will take place in 2025 from January 20 - 24
In 2025 we will once again be offering photo tours for you.
You can find all the dates at the bottom of this page.
One ticket is required per tour and participant, which entitles the holder to a two-hour apron tour at Zurich Airport in a passenger bus.
Each ticket is only valid for the selected date and time.
Each tour is led by experienced Tour Guides from Zurich Airport. A representative of aero-terminal will also be present on each tour.
Ticket sales end on the morning of each tour. From this point onwards, it will only be possible to buy tickets in cash directly from us at the counter on the observation deck 15 minutes before the start of the tour.

Each tour lasts two hours. After a short welcome and safety briefing, we take a passenger bus and drive across the apron. Please note that there are only a limited number of seats on the bus. Our guests should have no problem standing for more than two hours.
It may happen that the bus has to park further away from one or the other photo point, which means that we have to walk a few meters. Please wear sturdy shoes and also consider the weather conditions. It is January - our tours also take place in pouring rain, heavy snow or icy winds.
During the tour there is no possibility to go to the toilet or take a break for drinks and food. Smoking is strictly prohibited during the tour. This also applies to e-cigarettes and other similar smoke and / or vapor generating products.
Each tour is accompanied by a representative of the aero-terminal crew. He is the contact person for all questions or requests during the tour and coordinates and checks these with the Tour Guide and the Airport Authority.
While on the apron, it is important to adhere to the rules and regulations. Red lines must never be crossed, aircraft must not be touched and we must always stay together as a group. The guidelines, instructions and regulations must be followed.
Only if the tours run smoothly we can continue to offer these events in the future.
