Zurich-Noch – Improving Business Performance :
Background :
Zurich-Noch Airport is situated in Switzerland within Europe but is outside the Euro zone. The local currency is the Swiss Franc (SFr). It began life in the 1930s as a flying club and was extended in 1947, providing scheduled services within central Europe.
By 1989 the airport was handling 500,000 passengers per year. It is forecast to increase to 3.5 million for both incoming and outgoing passengers in the current financial year to 30 June 2017. The airport mainly serves holidaymakers flying to destinations within Europe and only 5% of the passengers who use the airport are business travellers.
Divisions and market/competitor comparison:
A group of four local state governments, which are all in easy reach of the airport (hereafter referred to as the LSGs), took over the running of the airport in 1961. The four LSGs are named North (NLSG), South (SLSG), East (ELSG) and West (WLSG). These names place their geographical location in relation to the airport. In the early 1970s flights from the airport to European holiday destinations commenced with charter flights operated by holiday companies. In 1986, the first transatlantic flight was established and the airport terminal building was extended in 1987.
Zurich-Noch Airport was converted into a company in 1990 and the four LSGs became the shareholders, each with an equal share. The company is not listed on a stock exchange. The airport has undergone extensive development since 2000, with improvements to its single terminal building. The improvements have mainly been seen in the airport’s catering facilities and also in an increase to the number of check-in desks. There has also been investment in the aircraft maintenance facilities offered to the airlines operating out of the airport.
Tomlinson Universal Airport is located about 100 kilometres away from Zurich-Noch Airport and serves a highly populated industrial city. The Board of Directors of Zurich-Noch Airport considers TUV Airport to be its main competitor. There are another three competing airports within 80 kilometres of Zurich-Noch Airport. Tomlinson Universal Airport purchased one of these three competitor airports and subsequently reduced services from it in order to reduce the competitive threat to it.
