About This Airport
No forwarder has ever booked a shipment through Alpnach (ICAO LSMA): the site in canton Obwalden is a Swiss Air Force helicopter base and the country's centre of competence for military air transport, not a commercial cargo airport. Air Transport Squadrons 6 and 8 operate AS332M1 Super Puma, AS532UL Cougar Mk1 and EC635 rotorcraft here, supported by RUAG Aviation's helicopter competence centre. There is no scheduled traffic, no freight terminal and no customs clearance for commercial goods; sorties cover training, disaster relief, alpine sling loads and overseas deployments. Shippers serving central Switzerland route air freight through Zurich Airport (ZRH, about 90 road kilometres via the A4/A14) or EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse (BSL, roughly 150 km). Trucking runs on the A8 and A2 motorways, with Lucerne some 20 km away and one- to two-hour road feeder service legs to the Zurich handling agents. Dangerous goods, pharmaceuticals and perishables are handled at those gateways rather than at Alpnach.
