## Description

Switzerland's largest regional airport is not a freight address: Grenchen Airport (ICAO LSZG) in canton Solothurn handles roughly 60,000 movements a year across four runways with instrument approach and departure procedures, ranking fourth nationally behind Zurich, Geneva and Basel. Business aviation, private flying, helicopters, gliding, parachuting and model flying all coexist here. Ten flight schools shape the site, among them Flugschule Grenchen and the Lufthansa group's European Flight Academy, whose graduates go on to Swiss, Edelweiss, the Swiss Air Force and corporate operators. There is no cargo terminal, no freighter traffic and no customs clearance for air freight consignments. Swiss air cargo runs through Zurich (ZRH), the country's principal freight gateway, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse (BSL/MLH/EAP) with its substantial cargo zone, and Geneva (GVA), each one to two hours from Grenchen by road. Motorway A5 and the Grenchen Nord and Grenchen Süd railway stations make the location useful for road feeder work rather than for airside handling.
