Over 100,000 passengers per day used Zurich Airport during the first vacation weekend in the canton of Zurich. According to the airport, waiting times at security checks decreased.
Last year, the long queues at the security checkpoint were still an ongoing issue due to staff shortages. Now these are back to the "usual quality level", as a spokeswoman for Zurich Airport said on Monday when asked by Keystone-SDA.
The airport is also expecting large numbers of passengers on the remaining summer holiday weekends. Whether a record was broken with the more than 200,000 at the weekend remains to be seen. Zurich Airport will not publish the exact figures for July until mid-August. The previous daily record from July 2019 was 115,000 passengers.
According to the media spokeswoman, there were no major incidents at the weekend. As the weather was ideal for flying, there were no major delays.
