Closed Airport Terminal Experience - Zurich Airport Behind The Scenes

  • Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
  • I visited Zurich Airport and explored the airport with 2 public tours. My first tour started at the recently opened observation deck. I went on the bus tour that shows you around the entire Zurich Airport, with a stop at the intersection of the runways for some close-up plane action.
    Then I joined the behind-the-scenes airport tour, walking around the ramp with my excellent guide Rene explaining the airport operations in detail. We saw the latest Qatar Airways A350 arriving at its gate. Within minutes, the ramp sprang into action with loading and unloading activities.
    Then, we went to an empty mid-field terminal E; this terminal has been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a bizarre experience to walk through the entire terminal in total silence. Next, we went to see the baggage belt system, checking out how the bags are delivered to each airplane. The tour gave a rare insight into the Zurich Airport operation. I was amazed at how open Zurich Airport is with these excellently run public tours.

    It's great to see the observation deck has opened again in Zurich and the airport offer many cool behind the scenes tours to the public. ZRH Airport set a great example for many other airports to follow in developing general public's interest in aviation. Hope to see ZRH in better times ahead!

    Meanwhile in Belgrade, Serbia, the airport security or the police will either chase you away or maybe even arrest you and keep you locked in overnight if they see you filming and taking photos of the planes anywhere around the airport. As an aviation enthusiast, that gives me one more reason to stay in love with Zürich.

    I was on a Swiss flight in 2018 that was delayed 4 hours on top of a planned 3 hour layover. We spent all 7/8 hours in Concourse E on the way from Rome (FCO) to New York (EWR). It was a late flight, but I've never seen that terminal as empty as it was in your video. I miss flying and hope we can travel again soon, I'll never complain about being stuck in Terminal E of Zurich for 7 hours ever again.
