Zurich Airport connects Switzerland with the world and is also one of the region’s most important business and employment hubs. Around 35,000 employees across more than 300 companies work every day to ensure safe and smooth airport operations.

The Career Days bring this diversity to life. Together with twelve partner companies, Zurich Airport Ltd. provides insights into the wide range of career opportunities available. The programme is aimed both at students who are considering their future career options and at experienced professionals looking for a new direction or interested in discovering Zurich Airport as a potential place to work.

A behind-the-scenes look on guided tours

The guided tours offer fascinating insights into various areas of work at Zurich Airport. Participants can visit the SR Technics workshops or learn more about the work of Skyguide air traffic controllers in the tower. Swissport and dnata show visitors how operations on the apron and in the passenger areas work. Cargologic also offers tours of its facilities and provides an introduction to its cargo and logistics processes. Service providers such as Autogrill by Avolta and Dufry by Avolta also invite visitors to tour their outlets and discover the wide range of careers in the food service and retail sectors.

Flughafen Zürich AG offers a variety of guided tours. Among other things, participants can accompany bus drivers around the airport premises, learn about the processes involved in operating passenger boarding bridges and supplying aircraft with energy, or explore the hidden infrastructure beneath the airport on a sewer trekking tour.

The number of participants on all guided tours is limited. Advance registration is therefore required.

Information sessions and live Q&As

In addition to the guided tours, information sessions provide practical insights into various career profiles and the corresponding entry opportunities. The “Take a seat for your future” event is aimed specifically at school students. Apprentices at Flughafen Zürich AG share first-hand experiences of their training in administration, IT, and operations and maintenance.

The airlines SWISS and Edelweiss present career opportunities in the cockpit and cabin, with SWISS also providing information about ground-based roles. Helvetic Airways presents various part-time and full-time working models for cabin crew members.
